Thanks for the tag @Meaw_catlady 😘

1. Tagged!
2. No plot, story drags on and on with no real action, lack of character development, too many stereotypes, overuse of tropes, and just because I‘m not feeling the story

Incredible read. 5🌟 I highly recommend this book, along with Code Girls.

She was honored highest civilian honors by the governments 3 countries, but thought it nonsense because:

“Bestowing an award on her simply for doing her work was as ludicrous as giving one to the horse that pulled a milk cart. And receiving it at a public ceremony in the White House was out of the question.” (On being awarded the U.S. Distinguished Service Cross)
👇🏻

wanderinglynn She would‘ve been an amazing woman to meet. Not only having to overcome the challenges of gender (which funnily enough she faced more of *after* the war), but also disability. Incredible. Her story is one that should be a must-read. 5y

wanderinglynn ***Trigger warnings*** this is a book about WWII and because of her role, the book does discuss some of the horrors that resistance members and others faced during this time. There are some torture descriptions. It‘s not graphic, but a stark & harsh reality. And so that may not be good for some to read. 5y

Booklover57 I will have to read this book. 5y

Crazeedi Great review, it sounds really good and what a hero! 5y

“The wolves are at the door.” In reference to Nazi soldiers in Crozant, France, March 1944.

Just finished the prologue to the tagged and WOW! What an incredible start! I can already tell that I‘m not going to be able to put this book down.

This book is an amazing true story about an American female spy working during World War 2. Beautifully and breathtakingly written non-fiction. I was on the edge of my seat reading this inspirational story.
