Review: The Spy's Wife by Fiona McIntosh

 

This is a book that talks directly to my heart. Historical Fiction, Romance, Thrill, Mystery and my favourite flowers - Cherry Blossoms.

Evie Armstrong and her younger sister Rosie, work at the Train Station where their father Alf is the Station Master. The two girls have made their own café, whereby they serve cakes, tea and coffee to the passengers when they alight from the trains.

Evie is a widow, whose former husband died in a train accident, wherein he was attempting to save a child who had wandered out onto the tracks. Evie now spends her days assisting her father at the Station, where she makes her own cherry cakes, cherry jam, and glace cherries from the Cherry Blossom Trees that align the station which her father planted many years ago.

Evie and her sister Rosie have both been admiring a handsome stranger, who has become a regular traveller to their station recently. Rosie is outgoing and has been flirting with the handsome gentleman, however it is Evie the older sister who has captured his attention.

Evie and Roger Hall have a whirlwind romance, and fall deeply in love with each, and become engaged. Evie telephones her father to announce the wonderful news of her engagement, but it is at this moment that Evie discovers that her new Fiancée Roger may not be the man that Evie thinks he is.

Hitler's reign is on the rise and the talk of a possible war is increasing rapidly. Evie and Roger are both living in Germany due to complications with Roger's employment.

This book kept me intrigued and on the edge of my seat, the entire time. I loved Evie she is a strong witted heroine and her love for her Fiancé is a force to be reckoned with.

The history in this book is wonderful, Hitler and his army, the SS of Germany and Britain. The history of Porsche motorcar family.

Fiona McIntosh is a brilliant writer, I cannot wait to read more of her masterpieces.

5 Stars: It was amazing. It was compelling, well-researched, entertaining and/or moving and often complex. I will definitely want to read more books by this author.
