Aprašymas

During WWII, a naive young woman is hired by a Nazi-sympathizing congressman, in this novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of A Ship Made of Paper.

As the Second World War heats up, Caitlin Van Fleet moves to Washington, DC, to become a "government girl" in the office of Congressman Stowe, who has connections to such controversial figures as the fiery radio commentator Father Coughlin and the German-American Bund. Young and impressionable, Caitlin enters into a passionate love affair with the congressman's aide, Betty Sinclair. But their relationship, while intense, is short-lived. When Caitlin befriends Joe Rose, an undercover reporter working to expose Stowe as a Nazi collaborator, she must decide once and for all what she truly stands for.

From a two-time National Book Award finalist known for such novels as Endless Love, The Rich Man's Table, and An Ocean Without a Shore, New York Times Notable Book Secret Anniversaries brings to life the political controversies surrounding World War II, and delves into one woman's decades-long journey as she wrestles with questions of passion and principle.
