"1945. Marta Nederman has barely survived the brutality of a Nazi concentration camp, where she was imprisoned for her work with the Polish resistance. Lucky to have escaped with her life, she meets Paul, an American soldier, who gives her hope of a happier future. The two make a promise to meet in London, but Paul is in a deadly plane crash and never arrives. Finding herself pregnant and alone in a strange city, Marta finds comfort with a kind British diplomat, and the two soon marry. But Marta's happiness is threatened when the British government seeks her help to find a Communist spy--an undercover mission that resurrects the past with far-reaching consequences. Set during a time of great upheaval and change, The Diplomat's Wife, a gripping early work from Pam Jenoff, is a story of survival, love and heroism, and a great testament to the strength of women. Look for Pam Jenoff's new novel, The Woman with the Blue Star, an unforgettable story of courage and friendship during wartime."--Provided by publisher.

It was a little slow to get going and there were constant references to the previous story written by this Author, but it was all in context. I found it quite an enjoyable read
