Liver and Onions (Paperback)

Phyllis Bostock is dying. Her thoughts crowd in to fill the last moments of a life that no one, not even her son, had ever dreamed of. A mystery surrounds a tragedy in her family's history, which she grapples with during her service to her country. Flown to occupied Paris in 1940 to work for SOE, she forms a platonic relationship with a German general. Secrets that he has are the key to the invasion of England. Her husband Jack, whom she first met when she was three years old, is part of her clandestine life. Her call sign is 'Liver and Onions' - her favourite meal - and the Germans could never decipher the cryptic messages under this heading. Did she save the country from a terrible fate? Or was she used by others with the same aim in mind? That was Phyllis's secret which she took to the grave.
