SIGNED BY SEBASTIAN FAULKS on title page; previous owner made several penned notes about book on title page and facing page; very light wear to upper edge and some light scratches to dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; America, 1959. With two young children she adores, loving parents back in London, and an admire husband, Charlie, working at the British embassy in Washington, the world seems an effervescent place of parties, jazz and family happiness to Mary. But the Eisenhower years are ending, and 1960 brings the presidential battle between two ambitious senators: John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. An American newspaper reporter called Frank Renzo dramatically enters Mary's family's lives, and through him Mary is forced to confront the terror of the Cold War that is the dark background of their carefree existence.
