Wow! A historical fiction about Nancy Wake who supplies the French Resistance under Germany's occupation. Fast-paced and hard to put down.
There were times I had to go back through the story, as the book does not follow a linear timeline. This one might have to be a re-read, but I don't mind as it was a really great book.

Well-written and fascinating historical fiction about Nancy Wake, also known as The White Mouse, an Australian living in France at the time of Hitler’s rise to power who became a spy and military leader in the French resistance. I listened to this as an audiobook and remained gripped by the story throughout.
