This book is based on actual events that happened after World War II. This book tells the story of women who were British agents of SOE sent into France to help in war effort undercover. I have found a few books telling of a woman's role in the World Wars, and really wanted to read this one. I was not disappointed.

The main 3 women that are in this group are the woman who puts together this group, Eleanor Trigg who works for the Director of SOE and invaluable to this group, and she is put in charge of hiring women to help in war effort, Marie who was recruited at her place of work in a coffee shop, and Grace Healy who found a suitcase in Grand central station in New York and how finally got the contents to whom it affected.

The book is rich in historical detail while I could also sense the danger of what these women were doing. The plot twists around and so many life endangering things happen. The book ends on a turn in the plot. It is a miracle any of these women survived.

One thing is for sure and that is that this book was well worth reading and I will re read it again! I gave this book 5 Brave Stars.
