This was good, I didn’t like the main character at first. I thought it was pretty unrealistic but then I grew to enjoy her.

brooklynsbookcase's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 40%

Too much sexual content and graphic scenes, and the story felt slow

A beautifully written story about a real woman named Nancy Wake, and how she became one of the few female leaders in combat against the nazi’s in World War II. A must read if you enjoy historical fiction. Ariel Lawhon is a terrific writer and her research is apparent in each book. Loved this one so much.
