It is the summer of 1976 in Oxfordshire, England, and someone is trying to kill Sally Gilmartin. The only person she can trust is her daughter, Ruth, a young single mother struggling with her own demons. Now Sally must tell her daughter the truth: She is actually Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian émigré recruited for the British Secret Service in 1939. Sally Gilmartin has buried many secrets along with the name Eva Delectorskaya, including her work manipulating the press in order to shift public sentiment toward U.S. involvement in the Second World War and her dangerous love affair with another spy. Now Ruth is drawn deeper and deeper into the astonishing events of her mother's past. Restless is a tour de force from William Boyd. Full of tension and drama, and based on a remarkable chapter of Anglo-American history, this is storytelling at its finest.©2006 William Boyd (P)2006 Audio Renaissance, a divison of Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC Espionage Historical Fiction Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

The only thing I liked about this unbearably boring story was Rosamunde Pike’s narration. I had to stop,however, since it is such an aimless story
