Dragonfly
Autor Leila Meachamen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 iul 2019
At
the
height
of
WWII,
five
idealistic
young
Americans
receive
a
mysterious
letter
from
the
OSS,
asking
them
if
they
are
willing
to
fight
for
their
country.
The
men
and
women
from
very
different
backgrounds--a
Texan
athlete
with
German
roots,
an
upper-crust
son
of
a
French
mother
and
a
wealthy
businessman,
a
dirt-poor
Midwestern
fly
fisherman,
an
orphaned
fashion
designer,
and
a
ravishingly
beautiful
female
fencer
from
Princeton
--
all
answer
the
call
of
duty,
but
each
for
a
secret
reason
of
his
or
her
own.
They
bond
immediately,
in
a
group
code-named
DRAGONFLY.
Soon
after
their
training,
they
are
dropped
behind
enemy
lines
and
take
up
their
false
identities,
isolated
from
one
another
except
for
a
secret
drop-box,
but
in
close
contact
with
the
powerful
Nazi
elite
who
have
Paris
under
siege.
Thus
begins
a
dramatic
and
riveting
cat-and-mouse
game,
as
the
young
Americans
seek
to
stay
under
the
radar
until
a
fatal
misstep
leads
to
the
capture
and
the
firing-squad
execution
of
one
of
their
team.
But...is
everything
as
it
seems,
or
is
this
one
more
elaborate
act
of
spycraft?

NOVELS
"Rosesheralded as the newGone with the Wind."—USA Today(Praise forRoses)
"As large, romantic, and American a tale as Texas itself."—Booklist(praise forRoses)
"It's been almost 30 years since the heyday of giant epics...but Meacham's debut might bring them back. Readers who like an old-fashioned saga will devour this sprawling novel of passion and revenge."—Library Journal(praise forRoses)
"The
finest
historical
fiction
not
only
entertains
but
teaches
readers
something
about
an
era
not
their
own,
and
this
novel
offers
a
stellar
crash
course
in
Texas
history...The
novel
has
it
all:
a
wide
cast
of
characters,
pitch-perfect
period
detail,
romance,
plenty
of
drama,
and
skeletons
in
the
closet
(literally).
Saga
fans
will
be
swooning."
