The story of Alison Wilson\u2019s relationship with British spy novelist and actual spy, Alexander Wilson, almost seems too wild for reality and too bizarre for the author\u2019s own fiction. But the history, beautifully brought to life by Wilson\u2019s granddaughter, Ruth Wilson, was real. It\u2019s a genre-busting journey where series writer Anna Symon always sought to highlight the power of family joy in this rather dark true tale.
