À propos de cet audio
A riveting story of World War II and the courage of one young woman as she is drafted into Churchill's overseas spy network, aiding the French Resistance behind enemy lines and working to liberate Nazi-occupied Paris.
London, 1941: In a cramped bunker in Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms, underneath Westminster's Treasury building, civilian women huddle at desks, typing up confidential documents and reports. Since her parents were killed in a bombing raid, Rose Teasdale has spent more hours than usual in Room 60, working double shifts, growing accustomed to the burnt scent of the Prime Minister's cigars permeating the stale air. Winning the war is the only thing that matters, and she will gladly do her part. And when Rose's fluency in French comes to the attention of Churchill himself, it brings a rare yet dangerous opportunity.
Rose is recruited for the Special Operations Executive, a secret British organization that conducts espionage in Nazi-occupied Europe. After weeks of grueling training, Rose parachutes into France with a new codename: Dragonfly. Posing as a cosmetics saleswoman in Paris, she ferries messages to and from the Resistance, knowing that the slightest misstep means capture or death.

Excellent!! Story and characters were gripping
Loved this book! The characters and story were emotionally gripping. I’ve listened to lots of world war 2 books and this was yet a different take on it. I gave the performance 4 stars because although the voices and accent were great, you can hear dry/sticky (?) mouth sounds from the narrator (like swallowing, licking of lips, maybe smacking lips. Like his mouth is dry and sticking together) Quite unpleasant with headphones in

Just okay
Historical fiction set during WW2 is a favourite genre for me but this book was ultimately a disappointment. The story dragged on for me and I wished several times it would just end. I couldn’t get invested in the characters or the story. The author seemed determined to drag the protagonist through a progressively unlikely series of events and the characters’ spoken and inner dialogue seemed unrealistic. Even Mr. Vance’s narration couldn’t redeem it for me.
