A Must Read

A historical novel set during World War II, depicting the life of Yvonne Rudellat, the first female special ops agent sent to France to confront the Germans. Having been born in Paris and being a bit older, she easily blended in. A wonderful description of the risks people took to defeat the German forces in occupied France and the danger and deprivation they encountered.
