Description
A searing historical novel set in 1950s Washington, D.C., Fellow Travelers is a world of dominated by personalities like Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and Joe McCarthy, infused with political drama, unexpected humor, and heartbreak. Timothy Laughlin, a recent college graduate and devout Catholic, is eager to join the crusade against Communism, but his life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a handsome State Department official, Hawkins Fuller. As McCarthy mounts a desperate bid for power and internal investigations focus on "sexual subversives" in the government, Tim and Fuller find it ever more dangerous to navigate their double lives. Crisp, buoyant prose characterises this novel, which explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and identity in a world of bare-knuckled ideology and secret dossiers. The author's masterful storytelling brings to life a world of intrigue and deception, where the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred.
