I'd have thought the story a stretch if it wasn't based on a real woman's life! I'm so impressed with everything Virginia accomplished and often googled more information about this fascinating woman. The story was well told, and I cared about the many characters introduced throughout the story. It's another WWII book that shines light on heroes behind the front line. Impressive research, impressive characters, and a very interesting book! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this great historical fiction story. Every history class should include a lesson on Virginia Hall. I got this book merely because it was about Virginia Hall; what I didn’t anticipate was falling in love with the additional characters in the book, especially Estrella. Virginia Hall is a remarkable American woman who was an intricate part of the French Resistance during WWII. What’s even more remarkable, with everything she was able to accomplish, she had a wooden leg, that she affectionately named Cuthbert. During her time as a pianist, aka coder, the life expectancy of one was six weeks. The entire book she’s focusing on those six weeks, until it comes and goes and she’s still alive. Erika Robuck’s work is brilliantly written with an all star cast that will make you fall in love. This is one of the best historical fictions I’ve ever read and I highly recommend it. If you read one book this year, it has to be this one! This book is history about real people, not dates and events. This is the people in the events. It has been a long time since I cried reading a book, but this story and the people in it brought tears to my eyes. Knowing it is history the end is up in the air, triumph or tragedy, the outcome is not the author's desire, but what fate determined. A realistic, visceral story. An important lesson in the good and evil we humans are capable of. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:“An extraordinary profile of immense courage and daring.”—Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Left Cuba “If you only read one WWII book this year, make it this one."—Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Orphans In the depths of war, she would defy the odds to help liberate a nation…a gripping historical novel based on the remarkable true story of World War II heroine Virginia Hall, from the bestselling author of Hemingway’s Girl France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore—she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst. Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost. While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what—and whom—she's truly protecting.
