I often have a hard time getting into a historical fiction novel because many authors still have that text book feel to their work. This wasn't the case with White Mouse which was not only simple to read, but very entertaining. DuArte has a captivating way with words that engages the reader, which I find is handy in getting such an important message across.White Mouse captures the likeness of Nancy Wake Fiocca who is often not as celebrated as she should be. Fiocca set up many routes through France for anyone that needed to flee the country. Her work saved many lives but also put her own life in danger. This novel is filled with twists, military tactics and courage that will warm the heart and restore a little faith in humanity. Readers will relish the details and maybe even discover some facts that may have been omitted from their history textbooks. I'd recommend it to any of my friends, no matter their chosen genre.
