Diana Quick reads the novel by Georgina Harding, set in 1960s England. Eight-year-old Anna waves goodbye to her mother one morning, unaware that she is disappearing forever. All is not as it seems in 1960s Britain: the Portland spy case has rocked the Establishment and official secrets documents nestle in the shopping baskets of respectable housewives as Cold War paranoia takes hold. In the midst of all this, Anna and her brother begin a quest for the truth about their mother that will last a lifetime. Abridged by Lauris Morgan Griffiths.
