Read by Kate Reading.
The year is 1942, and World War II is in full swing. Odette Sansom decides to follow in her war hero father's footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and her beloved homeland, France. Five failed attempts and one plane crash later, she finally lands in occupied France to begin her mission. As they successfully complete mission after mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. All the while, they are being hunted by the cunning German secret police sergeant, Hugo Bleicher, who finally succeeds in capturing them. Loftis paints a portrait of true courage, patriotism, and love of two incredibly heroic people who endured unimaginable horrors and degradations.

Strong Women in History submitted by kbcmmom on August 6, 2020, 10:25am I recently heard an interview on the podcast "Thank You for Your Service". They response to the question regarding how it is now that women are allowed in the combat was "Women have always been in combat, in the field during times of war. We were always there, just unofficially" made me think of this book. I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed the book but I truly appreciate the subject matter. I think it is worth the read to discover another female unsung hero.
