BOOK CLUB: Who Is Vera Kelly by Rosalie Knecht

This is a cross post from The Active Lesbians Over Fifty (ALOF) group. We meet once a month, usually on the second Friday of the month.

Our book club meetings are fun and engaging. We discuss the book we’ve read, choose our next book (2 months out), and share food that everyone brings. When time permits, we also delve into other topics and enjoy getting to know one another.

Join us for an informative and fun-filled evening! Here’s the original post from the ALOF group:

BOOK DESCRIPTION from GOOD READS:
New York City, 1962. Vera Kelly is struggling to make rent and blend into the underground gay scene in Greenwich Village. She's working night shifts at a radio station when her quick wits, sharp tongue, and technical skills get her noticed by a recruiter for the CIA.

Next thing she knows she's in Argentina, tasked with wiretapping a congressman and infiltrating a group of student activists in Buenos Aires. As Vera becomes more and more enmeshed with the young radicals, the fragile local government begins to split at the seams. When a betrayal leaves her stranded in the wake of a coup, Vera learns war makes for strange and unexpected bedfellows, and she's forced to take extreme measures to save herself.

An exhilarating page turner and perceptive coming-of-age story, WHO IS VERA KELLY? introduces an original, wry and whip-smart female spy for the twenty-first century.
