Synopsis
During WWII, a naive young woman is hired by a Nazi-sympathizing congressman, in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of A Ship Made of Paper. As the Second World War heats up, Caitlin Van Fleet moves to Washington, DC, to become a &“government girl&” in the office of Congressman Stowe, who has connections to such controversial figures as the fiery radio commentator Father Coughlin and the German-American Bund. Young and impressionable, Caitlin enters into a passionate love affair with the congressman&’s aide, Betty Sinclair. But their relationship, while intense, is short-lived. When Caitlin befriends Joe Rose, an undercover reporter working to expose Stowe as a Nazi collaborator, she must decide once and for all what she truly stands for. From a two-time National Book Award finalist known for such novels as Endless Love, The Rich Man&’s Table, and An Ocean Without a Shore, New York Times Notable Book Secret Anniversaries brings to life the political controversies surrounding World War II, and delves into one woman&’s decades-long journey as she wrestles with questions of passion and principle. &“Spencer is one of my very favorite writers.&” —Emma Cline, New York Times–bestselling author of The Girls &“A gifted storyteller.&” —Newsday &“A magnificent writer.&” —Anne Tyler, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Redhead by the Side of the Road
