The author deftly handles Krista’s struggles to cope in the country of her husband where she is still seen by many as the Enemy.
In 1974 a body of a woman is found buried among the roots of a sycamore tree in a London garden. She has had a baby and suffered a head wound. But who was she?
The mood of post-war London is well portrayed and the mystery of the first chapter remains in the background of your mind until the very end.
