In 1953, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed for conspiring to commit espionage. Ethel left her two young sons with a neighbor, never to come home to them again. Brilliantly melding fact and fiction, Jillian Cantor reimagines the life of the neighbor, and the life of Ethel and Julius, an ordinary-seeming Jewish couple who became the only Americans put to death for spying during the Cold War. A spellbinding historical novel.
