Discover a daughter's journey into her father's past in this Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the 2016 Costa Biography Award.Keggie Carew grew up under the spell of an unorthodox, enigmatic father. An undercover guerrilla agent during the Second World War, in peacetime he lived on his wits and dazzling charm. But these were not always enough to sustain a family.
