One Woman's War by Christine Wells
4.0
WWII historical fiction fans will be delighted with this new book from the author of Sisters of the resistance. I really enjoyed this one on audio narrated by Saskia Maarleveld that cleverly combines fact with fiction in a suspenseful story about two women spies and the dangerous lives they led during the war.
It was so fun getting to know more about both author Ian Flemming and the real life inspiration for his character Miss Moneypenny, Victoire Bennett! Even more surprising to learn was that this WWII British Naval intelligence officer was a married woman and kept working even while pregnant.
I thought the author did a great job intertwining both Victoire and Austrian double agent/socialite Friedl Stöttinger's stories. Based on the real life events of these women's lives, this book is perfect for fans of Kristin Harmel, Natasha Lester or Kate Quinn.
Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy and Libro.fm for an ALC in exchange for my honest review!
