Description

As Allied forces close in on Berlin in spring 1945, a solitary figure emerges from the wreckage that is Germany. It is Marian Sutro, whose existence was last known to her British controllers in autumn 1943, Paris. One of a handful of surviving agents of the Special Operations Executive, she has withstood arrest, interrogation, incarceration, and the horrors of Ravensbrück concentration camp, but at what cost? Returned to an England she barely knows and a postwar world she doesn’t understand, Marian searches for something on which to ground the rest of her life.

Professional reviews

"Tightrope is the complex and enigmatic story of a woman whose search for personal identity and fulfilment leads her to shocking choices. Praise for The Girl Who Fell From the Sky: 'Streamlined and tautly paced. […] (Mawer) always keeps the pace brisk, the underlying tension high.' GUARDIAN 'An absorbing novel full of treachery, twilight and terror.' TELEGRAPH"
