Tightly bound with lower edge remainder mark, this memoir began to take shape as the author's husband lay dying, a victim of cancer. Their decades together had been unspoken. His profession, a C.I.A. operative, and its details, were for him to know. Management of their home and their five children were her focus. But when cancer began to dominate he brought home the tools for writing, as he wanted her to know what his life had been, with the many events and tales he had not been able to share with her and their children. "My Spy" is their story, spanning "fifty years, four continents, three wars, a revolution, five children, two races and one faith". Their marriage was "often stormy, sometimes blissful, but never dull." Their quiet partner since 1947 had been the CIA, and it would be 40 years before Bina promised she would tell his story, after first hearing it herself.
