"The Far Side of the Sun" - ikke engang på Bahamas er alt bare idyll

"The Far Side of the Sun" er skrevet av Kate Furnivall, og handlingen upstager seg på Bahamas under andre verdenskrig. Jeg tror ikke den er utgitt på norsk.

Fra bokomslaget:
The Bahamas, 1943. Hoping to escape her turbulent past, twenty-three-year-old Dodie Wyatt has fled to Nassau. But the world is at war, and one night the peaceful life she has created for herself is shattered when she discovers a dying man in an alley. 

Ella Stanford is married to a powerful diplomat who's been appointed to keep the Duke of Windsor far from his Nazi friends in Germany. And in this city now teeming with danger, Ella has her own secret - one that threaten to tear apart her safe and ordered life. 

When Ella's world collides with Dodie's, they find themselves caught in the spiral of violence and greed ripping through Nassau. But Dodie falls deeply in love with a mysterious American stranger on the island, and together they fight to uncover the truth behind the blodshed while struggling to keep each other alive in this perilous new world... 

Dette er en bok som kanskje ikke byr på de store overraskelsene, men det finnes heldigvis andre intriger enn kjærlighet. Ikke vet jeg om hertugen av Windsor var nazivennlig under andre verdenskrig, men det krydrer helt klart fortellingen. En firer på terningen fra meg.
