An interesting concept. Virginia Woolf in the role of a spy. It’s 1917 and the Great War (WWI) is on. Virginia is recovering from a nervous breakdown, under the close eyes of her husband.

When she reads a short article about a Belgian woman’s suicide, Virginia becomes very curious and decided to investigate. Between her over-protective husband and her doctor it is close to impossible for her. She also has moments where she questions her own sanity.

Through persistence and a friendship with a female reporter, she makes progress on her investigation, but also finds herself dealing with traitors and spies from both sides.

Various contemporaries of Woolf are part of the cast of characters, along with locations people visited. These elements give life and support the time frame of the story.

There are many twists, turns and red herrings woven into the whole, which means you need to pay attention. An enjoyable read for me.

Fraud and control in a family business. Also the development of the wine industry at the bottom end of the market. Also includes fiduciary issues from the settlement of the parents estate - interesting questions about the origins of a family business where only 2 of 3 brothers own the resulting business. The billionaire winemaker Gallo family (Ernest and Julio) had their family history and treatment of their brother Joe exposed.
