Life on Water : Cavalarico Books Ltd. : 9781738643325 : 1738643328 : 13 Mar 2023 : A Life on Water by Timothy Paleczny Inspired by true stories of espionage in Lisbon in World War II, the new book A Life on Water from author Timothy Paleczny transports readers to Lisbon during wartime, to a remote village lost in time, and to life on an old trawler off the coast of Portugal. It is fall 1941, the Allies are losing the war. While her fellow students sign up to serve, marine biologist Ardis Lowney pursues the nesting sites of the Kemp's ridley-the Holy Grail of marine biology. But there's a cost. She agrees to carry a radio and monitor Portuguese waters for enemy activity-in effect, become an Allied spy. How dangerous could it be? Under cover as a visiting academic, Ardis gamely assumes her role as a spy in Lisbon. She takes command of a refitted fishing trawler that she names the Water Dog. She brings equipment to shoot newsreels-a new tool the Allies use to reach movie-goers. Be
