This was a very interesting book. The writer, Lucinda Franks, began to get the details of her father's wartime activities when he was in his later years of life. He was actually a spy during World War II, and it was really cool to hear his story. It was also really sad because he had kept this amazing story from his family for his whole life, and then shared it with them when he was beginning to suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. It was tragic to think of that, and wonder what older amazing memories his family might not ever know. I would highly recommend this book.
