Thank you to Netgalley and Doubleday Books for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ariel Lawhon has outdone herself with this one. This novel is about Nancy Wake, a woman with many different identities who was integral to the French Resistance's fight against Nazi Germany. Lawhon's interpretation of Wake's life made for compulsive reading. I spent most of the book on the edge of my seat anxious about what was going to happen next. Nancy Wake was someone I'd like to be friends with - smart, funny, bawdy, and unabashedly feminine even in inconceivable circumstances. Ms. Wake would be proud to see her story in this novel.
