This was a fascinating read, especially during Womenโs History Month. Based on a true story, The Woman with No Name follows Yvonne Rudellat who served as Britainโs first female sabotage agent during WWII.
This book was clearly well researched and appears to stay true to actual events. Overall, I liked this book. However, I did find myself losing focus during some of the slower paced sections of the book.
I alternated between the ebook and the audiobook which was narrated by Amy Scanlon. I highly recommend the audiobook! Amyโs performance was stellar and kept me more engaged. She was a dynamic storyteller with unique accents/voices for the various supporting characters in the book. I had a great listening experience.
