DESCRIPTION:
"Addictive" according to P K Spurway. A great series if you like the books of Jacqueline Winspear or Susan Elia Macneal. All these authors do a great job of not only describing the world before WW2 but you also feel the anxiety, fear and confusion of this time in history. I really enjoyed getting to know Clara Vine.. lena chadwell said Historical intrique. I could not wait to read 'The Pursuit of Pearls" after reading Jane Thynne's book "The Scent of Secrets". I really enjoyed the pace of the story. I like that the author describes an area, place, or event without going overboard in explanations; yet letting us know where the scene is taking place. I have bought a third book of Ms. Thynne's, "Woman in the Shadows". Can't wait to ge. couldn't get into this book too slow couldn't get into this book too slow. maybe it just wasn't my speed - i'm more of a suspense/dark/thriller reader and i tried to branch out.
Richly weaving the historical record with lush fictional details and a tantalizing love story, a cast of real Nazis and their British admirers - such as the Mitford sisters and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - comes to life in this series.. Rife with political intrigue and authentic period details, this novel is perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Eva Stachniak. Clara Vine, a half-Jewish Anglo-German, uses her unique access to the wealthy elite of prewar Nazi society to spy for her native Britain. In this second installment of her story, Clara, an ambitious young actress, insinuates herself into the lives of the Nazi wives through her association with the famous Ufa Studios. In the enthralling sequel to The Scent of Secrets, British actress-spy Clara Vine returns, moving gracefully through the treacherous upper echelons of Nazi high society. Her close friendship with Magda Goebbels makes her an attractive asset to the British intelligence service
