Captivating." - The Washington Post Named a Best Book of Summer by Good Morning America, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, BookRiot, LifeSavvy, Ct Post From "a master of historical fiction" (Npr), Karin Tanabe's A Woman of Intelligence is an exhilarating tale of post-war New York City, and one remarkable woman's journey from the United Nations, to the cloistered drawing rooms of Manhattan society, to the secretive ranks of the Fbi. A Fifth Avenue address, parties at the Plaza, two healthy sons, and the ideal husband- what looks like a perfect life for Katharina Edgeworth is anything but. It's 1954, and the post-war American dream has become a nightmare. A born and bred New Yorker, Katharina is the daughter of immigrants, Ivy-League-educated, and speaks four languages. As a single girl in 1940s Manhattan, she is a translator at the newly formed United Nations, devoting her days to her work and the promise of world peace - and her nights to cocktails and the promise of a good time. Now the wife of a beloved pediatric surgeon and heir to a shipping fortune, Katharina is trapped in a gilded cage, desperate to escape the constraints of domesticity. So when she is approached by the Fbi and asked to join their ranks as an informant, Katharina seizes the opportunity.
