When I read Trapeze by Simon Mawer, I was continually impressed and inspired by the way the main character, Marian Sutro, shifted from one personality to another. As a female embedded in France to spy for the English during World War II, she was constantly drawing on her Swiss upbringing to transition between language-based identities. As Marian travels across Europe, through cities and farms, it becomes more and more apparent that no matter how carefully constructed your cover is, too many secrets and it will crumble. That brings us to this week’s inspired recipe, classic English scones topped with a French vanilla glaze. (via Recipe: Scones with a French Vanilla Glaze)
