Description du livre
An absolutely heartbreaking and gripping WW2 novel
Diana 'Steve' Escott-Stevens knows what she is getting herself into. For 12 months she has fed and looked after agents preparing for a mission in France. She knows that only half of them will come back.
But she is young, brave, and speaks fluent French. When she applies to become an agent for the Special Operations Executive she is readily accepted and sent off for training to prepare her for the field.
The training is demanding; sabotage, codes, hand-to-hand combat, parachute jumps. But it is only too quickly that she finds herself in a Lysander flying to France, where any mistake could mean capture, torture or death, for her and others. . .
Based on true stories of fearless women secret agents - and their tales of bravery, betrayal and love - this is perfect for readers of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See and Ellie Midwood.
