An interesting book, detailing the Resistance movement in WWII Europe. Fascinating look into the life of Andree de Jongh, a Belgian nurse. Historically accurate portrayal of this most brave woman from history.

This book is fiction that is based on actual events. Dedee was a real person and this book summarized her work as part of the resistance during World War II. The author was able to add fictionalized characters to the book without ruining the historical accuracy of the events. Very well-written and enjoyable!

Sadly, I was not able to read this book. I downloaded a special app to be able to access it and when I opened the book the font was so small that I have to strain my eyes to be able to read it! I tried to zoom in and when I zoom in and out, it makes me go to a whole separate page. I can't do this over 200 times just to read the book. Upset that it didn't work out because I was really looking forward to reading this.

Michael Kenneth Smith tells a flawlessly written well researched true story, of a 24 year old Beligum nurse facing the horrors of war and having the courage to fight to make the wrongs she sees, right. The author skillfully works to make the story both emotional and suspenseful and while the subject matter is difficult the book flows smoothly.
Give this little gem a strong 5 stars.

This was a fascinating work of historical fiction about Andree de Jongh and her work in the Resistance during WWII. She worked tirelessly and at great danger to herself to return downed English pilots to their home so that they could return to action.

This book would be wonderful for those interested in the inner workings of the Resistance, as well as those wishing to know more of the evil that was Nazi Germany. I’m glad I read it.
