So good, but so, so heavy. I almost feel like this should be mandatory reading because I learned so much about WW 1 and undercover spy networks than ever before. To think that there were female spies in WW 1 - WOW! But it’s heavy. Incredible, but heavy and real. Absolutely worth reading, one of my favorite books I’ve read, but the horrors that these women have seen has been giving me nightmares.
