Inspired by the midcentury memoirs of Frances Conway, this is the story of an independent American woman whose path takes her far from her native Minnesota when she and her husband, an undercover intelligence officer, are sent to the Galápagos Islands to investigate the Germans living there in the buildup to World War II. They carve out a life for themselves amid active volcanoes, forbidding wildlife and flora and unfriendly neighbors. But the secrets they harbor -- from their friends, from their enemies, and even each other -- may be their undoing.
