Massively thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the e-ARC. I can honestly; safely; say that I truly enjoyed this book even though it took more or less five days for me to complete this book. This is my second book by Audrey Blake and I do not regret my decision to request the e-arc of this book. One thing that I always loved about Audrey Blake’s writing is they always wrote everything so perfectly in very specific details, it must have been hard to write something about WWII but they nailed it, I couldn’t put this book down.
I love how this book follows the life of a woman; a mother; who separated from her family, especially her husband. She decided to get involved in the war because she just felt left behind in the war effort. This book surprised me when I found out that Yvonne Rudellat is a real person ( Britain’s first female sabotage agent ); knowing that this book takes on a different perspective and how it’s partly biographical of real characters. I guarantee everything in this book was so perfectly mesmerising; strong female character, an excellent narrative, and this book filled with excitement and a page-turner throughout.
One thing that confused me was that in this book there are several points of view, and without warning the change in POV makes me a bit confused. Although, this story is told in a dual timeline.
This book comes out on March 12, 2024, so mark your calendars!
