Summary
To betray, you must first belong....
In June 1934, Kim Philby met his Soviet handler, the spy Arnold Deutsch. The woman who introduced them was called Edith Tudor-Hart. She changed the course of 20th-century history.
Then she was written out of it.
Drawing on the secret intelligence files on Edith Tudor-Hart, along with the private archive letters of Kim Philby, this finely worked, evocative and beautifully tense novel—by the granddaughter of Kim Philby—tells the story of the woman behind the Third Man.
Critic reviews
"Completely fascinating. A sophisticated and brilliantly constructed fictional retelling of a crucial relationship in 20th-century espionage history. A tremendous achievement." (William Boyd)
"A fascinating contribution to the literature of the Cambridge spies by a clever, nimble writer with some genuine skin in the game." (Charles Cumming)
"In Edith and Kim, Charlotte Philby brings to life a dangerous game of shadows that kept me reading late into the night. A dark, atmospheric and addictive novel." (Chris Power, author of A Lonely Man)
