Jasmine Nights
“Gregson…brings a wealth of detail to this unconventional love story, ranging from World War II history to rich cultural lore to the pop music standards of the era. With numerous and well-drawn characters, evocative prose, and a commanding story, the former journalist and foreign correspondent again proves that she is also a master of historical fiction. And smoke might not be the only thing that gets in your eyes in this moving novel.”

The author of the bestselling, award-winning East of the Sun returns with a captivating World War II love story.
It’s 1942, and Saba Tarcan is a talented young singer with big dreams. So when an opportunity arises to entertain the troops in the Middle East, she jumps at the chance, cutting short a burgeoning love affair with a young RAF pilot, Dom. It soon becomes clear that entertaining won’t be Saba’s only mission. 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.
