This book was so clearly written and the story so credible and engaging that I had to double check it was fiction. The characters became real to me and the way they interacted was genuine in a way few books offer. The story itself was a fascinating perspective on war and how extreme circumstances can change us. I highly recommend this book to people who are interested in psychology as well as those who are just looking for an interesting and entertaining read.

I really enjoyed this book.
History, adventure, friendship and romance combine to make a great read.
Anna, a recently widowed American from a well-connected family, is bored in her teaching job. She is approached to join the OSS, America's equivalent of SOE. After working for the chief, General Donovan, in Washington DC, and taking part in a covert operation there, she asks to move to active service in France, where she studied for a year, becoming fluent in both French and German. After training in the UK, she is dropped into France to help the Resistance.
Working in Nazi-occupied Paris, she joins up with an old friend. They discover that not all Germans are Nazis, and learn who they can trust.
Will she survive the war? And will all her friends in the Resistance and beyond?
