I was really surprised with this book. This book deserves more attention than it's getting. Anyone who has ever fallen in love over email will enjoy this read. Claire Berlinski is a spy fiction novelist that finds herself wrapped up in her own espionage story. Her correspondance with a Persian archeologist develops into a love story with a shocking ending.
The bulk of the book is written as emails corresponding back and forth between Claire and her friends, and the mystery archeologist. It was difficult to guess what was really going on with this story. I was constantly kept guessing who was the spy. The real charm in this quick read is the beautiful descriptions of each country mentioned. This heart breaking story of trust is one that needs to be told.

A clever companion to Berlinski's thoroughly enjoyable LOOSE LIPS. Another delightful blend of internet romance, spy-craft, and international politics.
