Life at the British Embassy in Washington in 1959 is awash with parties, martinis, jazz, and for Mary van der Linden, the kind of happiness she has always dreamt of. With her diplomat husband Charlie busy and the children off at boarding school, she feels listless until news reporter Frank Renzo enters their lives. And when Frank and Mary begin a torrid affair, their passion will force an impossible decision.
Set between Washington, New York and Moscow, On Green Dolphin Street, is a masterful exploration of Cold War chaos, and devastating love.

Of Charlotte Gray:
“A beautifully-told tale... Faulks throws fascinating new light on the nature of French ‘collaboration’ with the Nazis, and throws the ideals of artistic creativity and the realities of the death camps into wrenching juxtaposition.” –The Vancouver Sun
