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.
