On Green Dolphin Street by Sebastian Faulks
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Compelling . . . Faulks has become an international sensation' GUARDIAN 'Performs like an elegant melody' OBSERVER 'Tense and affecting . . . A modern epic' SPECTATOR Life at the British Embassy in Washington in 1959 is awash with parties, martinis, jazz, and for Mary van der Linden, the kind of happiness she has always dreamt of. With her diplomat husband Charlie busy and the children off at boarding school, she feels listless until news reporter Frank Renzo enters their lives. And when Frank and Mary begin a torrid affair, their passion will force an impossible decision. Set between Washington, New York and Moscow, On Green Dolphin Street, is a masterful exploration of Cold War chaos, and devastating love.
