Katharina Edgeworth appears to have the ideal life: a Fifth Avenue address, lavish parties at the Plaza, two healthy sons, and the perfect husband. However, the reality is far from perfect. It is 1954, and the post-war American dream has transformed into a nightmare. Katharina, a native New Yorker, is the daughter of immigrants, educated at an Ivy League institution, and fluent in four languages. In the 1940s, she worked as a translator at the newly established United Nations, dedicating her days to her work and the promise of world peace while enjoying cocktails and the promise of a good time in the evenings.
Now married to a beloved pediatric surgeon and the heir to a shipping fortune, Katharina finds herself trapped in a gilded cage, yearning to break free from the confines of domesticity. When the FBI approaches her with an offer to join their ranks as an informant, Katharina seizes the opportunity. A man from her past has risen to become a high-level Soviet spy, but no one has been able to infiltrate his circle. Enter Katharina, the perfect woman for the job. Navigating the demands of the FBI and the secrets of the KGB, she becomes a courier, transporting stolen government documents from Washington, D.C., to Manhattan.
However, as those closest to her lose their covers and their lives, Katharina's secret threatens to unravel everything. With the fast-paced twists of a classic spy thriller and a nuanced portrayal of female experience, A Woman of Intelligence shines with intrigue and desire.
