"Ann Bridge" was actually Lady Mary Dolling Sanders O'Malley (1889-1974), a diplomat's wife at the British Legation in Budapest (1940-41). Most of her novels are in large part autobiographical fiction. From dust jacket "An exciting, suspenseful novel and a tale of escape set in Hungary early in World War II ... the story of a woman's courage and deeply personal conviction as, far from home, she watches frontier after frontier fall to the enemy....More than a novel of wartime intrigue, it is inspiring, filled with the beauty of place descriptions, and the accuracy about haute monde detail that are the hallmark of Ann Bridge's suspense narratives."
