In this part of the story Anne finds out that her husband committed suicide and that her son died. This makes me feel horrible for Anne because she's lost Karl Voss, her mother, her son than her husband and now she has no family or friends.

3/11/10

While at her mother's funeral Anne meets up with the old team she had 20 years ago and finds out that everybody has still been working in the clandestine world. They all caught up on what they had done and they talk about how they should meet up sometime. This reminds me of what I did with my friends last week because we hadn't seen each other in about two years.

3/8/10

Audrey, Anne's mother, asks her about Karl Voss, this really strikes Anne because she really hadn't planned to talk about him since it was her mother was almost dying. They do eventually talk about him, but that same night Audrey dies and they have a funeral with a bunch of people and surprisingly she finds Jim Wallis aged and fat. This makes me feel bad for Anne, but then again not really because it talks about how she really wasn't moved by the death.

3/4/10

While Anne is taking care of her mother she begins to see that the morphine really does have a great effect on her and so she calls the doctors to come check her out he says that she may have to go to the hospital and her mother eventually stops taking the morphine as to not be sent to the hospital. Her mother tells her who her real father is, an Indian, and how her mother made up the story that she was raped by a man because interracial couple were seen back then as homosexuality is seen today, sort of. This makes me really interested in how this will take effect on Anne's mental state.

3/3/10

Anne finds out that her mother has a tumor the size of a rugby ball. While she talks with her mother she finds out that the thing that worried her the most, Rawlison dating her mother, was actually because her mother was part of a secret group and she convinced Rawlison to send her somewhere safe and not as dangerous as the war grounds. Again she thinks about Luís and her son. This makes it pretty awkward for her and her mother and it reminds me a lot of situations of me and my mother.

3/2/10

After the twenty-four year time jump in the book Anne finds out that her mother is sick and that she has to go back to Portugal to see her. On the trip home Anne remembers about the past years and she recalls the times when Luís couldn't make babies anymore because he was sterile and how he is now dedicating his life to the new child Juliaó. This makes me feel really good for her because it seems that she's forgotten Karl, but she still gives hints of him in her memory.

3/1/10

About 24 years go by in this section of the story because Anne finds out that Voss was killed and she finally does get married with Luís. It talks about how she feels that now she is a realy spy because she kept the secret that she believed she was pregnant before even getting married with Luís.

2/25/10

In this section of the book Anne just transforms dramatically because she can't fully get over the fact that Voss is gone. Agent Rose tells her that they found out that Voss was actually captured and didn't get realeased. After that she goes out with agent Luís for a while and he falls in love with her while she really doesn't care about him and they have this whole confrontation about how it is or isn't hard to say "yes".

2/24/10

Anne is thinking and having dreams about her mother and she doesn't exactly know why. She gets called into the office to be called into a different assignment instead of being a spy with and undercover story as a secretary.

2/23/10

While Anne is in Voss's apartment she sees him running from the PVDE agents and he suddenly stops with his hands in the air and signals her to hide and run. She takes the envelopes with the top secret plans and runs on top of the roof while the agents search the apartment.

Running 2/22/10

Paco and his assistant finally found out who the other two people in the house of the killing were and told the PVDE. Once the PVDE was told that it was Voss and Anne they immediately sent people after Voss and they ran through the whole town until Voss went aboard a train for a couple of hours then he got off and went to the square where his house was at. This makes me really nervous because at this point Voss is thinking about Anne's safety and he's being followed by the agents.

Desperate 2/11/10

Voss is anxious to find out wether the Valkyrie plan had worked out and Kempf comes in the room and tells him happily that the plan didn't work. They later got drunk and Voss went outside and it seems as though he passes out by a gutter right next to a dog. Anne on the other hand is desperate to see Voss and she goes to his house to see if he's there and she starts trying to find even the smallest traces of him in his razor or toothbrush. This makes me feel really freaked out because she seems like she's going crazy over him.

INterrogation 2/9/10

Anne was interrogated by two PVDE members and was asked the strangest questions to figure out who killed the people in the Wilshire home.

Court 1/8/10

In this part of ther story Mary goes to court for the investigation of how Mary and Hal Couples were killed and also the deaths of Lazard, Mr. Wilshire and Doña Mafalda. The court comes to the conclusion that Lazard had killed a many prior to the event, drove all the way to the Couples' house, raped and strangle Mary couples and shot Hal Couples in the head with his own gun, went to Mr. Wilshire's house and killed Doña Mafalda and Mr. Wilshire then killed himself. This makes me feel better about the situation with Mary and Voss.

Lazard's Death 1/4/10

After talking about Judy Laverne Beecham Lazard arrived and Anne and Wilshire brought him inside the house to talk about the rest of the plans. Since Lazard is leaving that same day he tells him how he wanted to celebrate. They fight about how Judy loved Wilshire more and Beecham got jealous and fought both Anne and Wilshire, but Wilshire manages to shoot Lazard right in the throat. They leave, but Malfalda shot Wilshire with a shotgun and Anne runs downstairs to escape while Mafalda walks after her.

Secrets Reviewed 2/3/10

Anne and Wilshire have a conversation outside about Judy Laverne and how he and Lazard killed her because Lazard accused her of being a spy. While talking Anne tells Wilshire that Lazard was actually in love with Laverne and that he couldn't stand seeing Wilshire and her together so he decided to make him believe she was a spy. This really gives me a different view of Laverne because he is hurting now, but because of a whole different reason that is completely understandable about why he's doing what he's doing.

Judy Laverne 2/2/10

While Voss is with Sutherland and Rose he finds out that Lazard wasn't on the airplane he had supposedly boarded. Anne talks to Wilshire and he finds out that she is a spy and this frightens her. They talk about what they both know and Judy Laverne was assassinated because she was also a spy and she was trying to find out where the diamonds to power the rockets were at. This makes me scared for Anne because she might end up the same way Judy did.

Atom Bomb 2/1/10

In this part of the story Voss meets up with Rose and Sutherland and they discuss whether or not Voss is going to tell them about it and where it's located. Voss eventually breaks down and tells them. This makes me feel bad for Voss because it isn't a sure thing that Voss's city will be safe.

Secret Lovers 1/27/10

Since Anne and Karl are both spies they have to keep their love a secret and they do it by meeting up together at a church and walking around the town. Anne shows him a beautiful view to Lisbon from their city and they stay there for hours talking about whatever and she completely forgets about her cigarettes. Karl looks at the time and tells her they have to leave. At this point the story changes to Mary and Hal Couples and he finds out that she was cheating on him with Beecham Lazard a man they both hate. This makes me feel really happy for Anne and Karl, but makes me really mad at Mary Couples.

1/26/10 Love

Voss and Anne finally met up at his hotel and they had sex. After the whole thing the book talks about an American agent and Mensel meeting up on a hill and they talk about the atom bomb project and about Mensel getting the plans for it. Unfortunately, the American agent was waiting for five months for it and Mensel only had news that the Americans already knew about so the American shot him. This make it seem really cruel, but also understandable because they don't want to have their plans leaked.

Close Call 1/25/10

In this section Anne goes to her supposed job and she feels indifferent about it. Once she gets out she goes walking and finds a woman she had seen just the night before and the woman begins to ask her questions about where she comes from and about her family, but since she is a spy she already has a story set up for her and it turns out she had completely blanked out and she had to make up the story, but the lady that it was very suspicious. When Anne barely makes it away she takes a shower lies down and cries because she'd forgotten. This made me really nervous when I was reading it because I thought she was going to get caught and killed.

Voss Is Hinted 1/20/10

In this section of the story Voss is told by Wolters that Anne is actually a spy, but the story doesn't tell if Voss has any belief in it. He finds out that Anne really is a spy later on when a Spaniard named Paco tells him that she is working as a secretary for Shell while she is spying on Wilshire and he's know this because Dona Mafalda has told him that she sees Anne sneaking around the house without Mr. Wilshire. This really makes me feel indifferent about the situation because Voss doesn't show any feeling over finding out she's a spy.
