Twenty-year-old Margo Rosenthal has accompanied her father to Paris for the Peace Conference at the end of World War I in 1919 and isn’t happy about being there until she meets exciting new friends. One is Georg, a formal naval officer, and the other Krysia, a Polish pianist who introduces her to political activists. As Margo begins a translation project for Georg, she realizes she may not want to marry her fiancé, Stefan, who is waiting for her in Berlin. But Krysia’s friends are pressuring Margo to get sensitive German plans from Georg and Margo is caught in the middle. There is a little twist at the end that removes some of the book’s suspense, but overall, it was a good beach read that combined romance with historical fiction.
