I received another hold from Modern Mrs Darcy's Summer Reading List. I actually had forgotten that I requested it.
Code Name Helene by Ariel Lawhon
This work of fiction is based on the real life of Nancy Wake. Nancy was an Australian expat living in France who bluff her way into a reporting job for Hearst publishing. She married a wealthy Frenchman and when the war came became part of the resistance and later part of the British Special Operations. The book is broken down by all her code names. Nancy is amazing and fearless. This was a great compelling read. You can't but help but root for her. The operations she ran were complicated. She was the most decorated woman of World War II. Perhaps the best read of my summer.
