Description

Summer, 1951. Two suspected spies, Burgess and Maclean, have disappeared, and the nation is obsessed with their whereabouts. Speculation is at fever pitch when Colin Harris, a member of the Communist Party who has been in Germany for several years, turns up to see his old friends Dinah and Alan Wentworth. He has news: he has fallen in love with a girl in East Berlin, and is coming home - with her - for good. Meanwhile, Jack McGovern, who sometimes feels like the only decent man in Special Branch, has a rendezvous with a real spy. Miles Kingdom thinks there's a mole at MI5, and he wants McGovern's help.A novel about secrets, betrayal and unearthing the truth, The Girl in Berlin is a reminder that when nothing is as it seems, no-one can be trusted - even those you think you know best.

My family was involved in running the British Empire in increasingly lowly postions sliding slowly down the social scale.
They felt quite dislocated after WW II and my mother led a very marginal existence.
Perhaps because of this she had me educated at St Paul's Girls' School, where I encountered a completely different world of the Jewish and non Jewish intelligentsia, and then at Oxford.
Possbily because of the discrepancy between home background and sophisticated educational milieu I was extremely rebellious.
I trained as a psychiatric social worker because of an interest in psychoanalysis, but throughout 10 years working in the field I was repelled by its conservative ethos and morality and eventually escaped to a polytechnic.
But this time I was involved in Gay Liberation and the Women's Movement, which defined the 1970s for me.
In the 1980s I became a lesbian co-parent and later a parent governor at Camden School for Girls.
Beginning in the mid-70s I wrote a number of polemical/academic works about women, and then shifted into an interest in fashion and dress (I am currently Visiting Professor at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts, London).
For some years I was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, but am now a Green Party member.
I am currently working on another novel and also on a book about the necessity of atheism.
