About This Book

At the close of the eighteenth century, the narrative locates a busy port city as a crossroads of émigrés, diplomats, couriers, and competing intelligence networks. It follows a woman operating as a spy amid salons, hotels, and cafés where exiles exchange news and schemes, and it traces the interplay of official diplomacy and clandestine activity. Vivid urban description alternates with scenes of surveillance, secret correspondence, and shifting loyalties, exploring themes of exile, political intrigue, and the social rituals that conceal or reveal allegiance while mapping a tightly observed milieu of rumor, risk, and calculated deceit.
