Welcome to Litsy!

Wow. Michelle Gable again takes you on an historic ride. Niki is part of OSS in the MO department during WWII. We follow her through her adventures and misadventures, love and heartbreak. The story is told through Niki‘s eye (both past and present) and the eyes of her friend, an Italian prostitute. A very satisfying ending.

Review is up! This is a bit disjointed in places. But it is based on facts.

This is a lighter WWII novel about a branch of the OSS...“Morale Operations“. It is loosely based on the life of Barbara Lauwers and includes some humour and romance. While the story itself is okay but not amazing, my real enjoyment came from learning about the existence of the group and the creative and effective work they undertook and that makes it a worthy read. Also I loved the characters of Moggy and Ezra. 3.5/5 stars.
