In 1972, at the height of the Cold War, the British intelligence agency decides to manipulate cultural conversations by funding authors with political ideas aligned with the government, an operation that will be baptized as Operation Caramel. Serena Frome, a brilliant Cambridge student, is the ideal candidate to infiltrate the circle of Tom Haley, a young literary promise. As she reads his novels, she falls in love with his stories and, little by little, begins to take an interest in the man.
How long can Serena keep her life a secret? Who is inventing whom in reality? To answer these questions, Serena must abandon the first rule of espionage: trust no one. This is an intelligent story of betrayal and intrigue, love and fictional personalities.
