The Great Tradition

the long version

***The magnificent novel of love and courage in the shadow of war.*** Half German and half American, Chris Marlow saw Europe as a glittering playground of royal palaces and country estates, a place to share the secrets of the powerful and to fall in love. But just beneath the surface lay seething ambition, betrayal, and the Nazi madness that would extinguish it all. **ABOUT AUTHOR:** ***Frances Parkinson Keyes was an American author*** who wrote about her life as the wife of a U.S. Senator and novels set in New England, Louisiana, and Europe. A convert to Roman Catholicism, her later works frequently featured Catholic themes and beliefs. ***Her last name rhymes with "skies," not "keys."***
