Synopsis
". . . masterful, evocative, and original." -Georgina Petty, journalist and author of Top Dogs
"A wonderful dance in a beautiful hall of mirrors taking the reader through the decades of glamour and war, love and espionage." -Sarah Ingham, PhD, author of The Military Covenant
Briggens House, Essex 1942, the other Bletchley Park - the one you have never heard of . . .
Briggens House, Essex 1940. An unassuming country house, home of the Polish Army in exile, houses in its basement a secret Special Operations Executive (SOE) unit where all the forged documents needed by the Allies are made. Here identities are created for agents dropped into enemy territory. Their lives depend on these documents looking authentic.
Peter and Elisabeth start an affair while working at Briggens House but lose touch soon after the war ends. Why then, forty years later, does she leave him something in her will?
Peter resolves to find out, discovering the extraordinary life she led after the war and the passionate affair that informed the choices she made and the person she became. But Peter, too, is changed by the journey, discovering new ways of seeing his past.
Using detailed research into the workings of this crucial but little-known SOE unit, Ipseity weaves a tender, passionate love story with the deception and intrigue of the fascinating world of wartime forgery.
