The Invisible Woman by Erika Robuck

4.0

Featuring some amazing women from the French Resistance, The Invisible Woman by Erika Robuck is just alittle different in all the right ways. I’ve read alot of these books over the last 18 months and I wasn’t sure how I felt about this one until I finished it. The story was engaging. The characters felt genuine. But the tempo felt off kilter and elements of the story lacked believability. But the main character, based on an American who was recruited by the SOE, slowly worked her way in to my heart. Her obvious PTSD, courage, loyalty to her people and desperation to play a part in defeating the Nazis made her someone I would buy a drink for. Gotta love someone who when told to go have a sleep on a day in 1944 just after D day responds that she hasn’t slept since 1940 and keeps going. This is a story about war. Of sacrifice. Of secrets. It is a love story. The love for a country other than your own. The love for friends, colleagues. Love for self. Beautiful.
