Synopsis

The author of the bestselling, award-winning EAST OF THE SUN returns with a sweeping new novel about a young singer recruited to work for the British Secret Service at the height of World War II. At twenty-three, Saba Tarcan is a talented but naive singer who dreams of being more than just another act playing in small clubs in Wales. So when the opportunity arises to join a group entertaining the troops in the Middle East, she jumps at the chance, leaving behind her overprotective family and cutting short a burgeoning love affair with a young RAF pilot, Dom. Despite being shot down and wounded, Dom is addicted to flying. He follows Saba to Cairo and their affair resumes. When it becomes clear that Saba is uniquely qualified for a secret mission of international importance, she is forced to conceal her new role from Dom. But it's a move that will jeopardize not only her own safety but also the love of her life' Based on the stories of the many female entertainers used as unofficial spies during World War II, JASMINE NIGHTS is a powerful story of danger, beauty and love set amidst some of the most exquisite and dangerous cities of the Middle East.
