Fiction and non-fiction lovers alike will love this well researched historical fiction take on the story of Nancy Wake. She was an Australian who set up an escape network in Marseille, France, during World War II. Her exploits earned her the nickname “the white mouse” from the German Gestapo. Nancy Wake deserves to be better known in the history of World War II, and this book does a great job of bringing her to life. “The White Mouse” is historical fiction based on a true story, so some of the characters and events are fictional, intended to bring the story to life rather than to narrate textbook events.
