World War II is of course a complex period of history, and in this novel, blending fact and fiction, Jack Duarte looks at some of the individuals involved in the British Special Operations Executive towards the end of the war, including Nancy Fiocca, known as 'The White Mouse'. I found it fascinating to read about these diverse individuals, but would have loved to have more depth about their thoughts and feelings given the extreme danger they faced day after day in occupied France. Jack Duarte has obviously immersed himself in the period and put together a compelling story and I really enjoyed reading it.
