Travel Guide

Munich

A key plot point involves the couple “bumping into” Winston Churchill in the city, which leads to their involvement in spying. This is a good point in the novel for really getting under the skin of the novel and making it feel even more realistic and relevant to real life.

Kent

Wyke House is fictional but there are a few stately homes in Kent where it could be!
