The Flight Portfolio: A novel

The Flight Portfolio: A novel

â€œBighearted, gorgeous, historical, suspenseful, everything you want a novel to beâ€ (â€”Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning author of Less), a new book inspired by the World War II story you've never heardâ€”the real-life quest of an unlikely hero to save the lives and work ofÂ Europeâ€™s great minds from the impending Holocaust
Â
In 1940, Varian Fry traveled to Marseille carrying three thousand dollars and a list of imperiled artists and writers he hoped to help escape within a few weeks. Instead, he stayed more than a year, working to procure false documents, amass emergency funds, and arrange journeys across Spain and Portugal, where the refugees would embark for safer ports. His many clients included Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall, and the race against time to save them is a tale of forbidden love, high-stakes adventure, and unimaginable courage.
Â
â€œMasterfully crafted and impossible to put down, The Flight Portfolio offers a testament to the enduring power of art, and love, in any form.â€ â€”Entertainment Weekly
