Historia
It is 1936, and Nancy Wake is an intrepid Australian expat living in Paris who has bluffed her way into a reporting job for Hearst newspaper when she meets the wealthy French industrialist Henri Fiocca. No sooner does Henri sweep Nancy off her feet and convince her to become Mrs. Fiocca than the Germans invade France and she takes yet another name: a code name. As Lucienne Carlier, Nancy smuggles people and documents across the border and earns a new nickname from the Gestapo for her remarkable ability to evade capture: The White Mouse.

Exciting, Adventurous, Heartfelt
Revisado: 07-25-21
I love this book so much! Ariel Lawhon is an amazing writer and this book really showcases her ability to nail characters, keep tension throughout the book and end chapters with cliff hangers.
I’d read about Nancy Wake 20 years after reading a book about her. I’m so happy with how Lawhon handled this story, Nancy’s character, and the love story with Nancy and Henri.
I never read books a second time. But this is one that I enjoyed so much that I want to start it all over again. Brava, Ariel Lawson! Thank you for the enjoyable read.

Delightful

This book was delightful, and I loved the reading by the narrator. Moira Quirk writes a clever, fun, adventurous, and imaginative story that is entertaining. I just finished the first book and am downloading the next one. Good story, characters, pacing, and intrigue. This is my first book by this author, and I love her work. I'll read more in the future. Won't disappoint!
