Neutral Portugal seldom features in stories about WWII so the synopsis held an immediate appeal and, having read the first four chapters, I'm sure this story has the potential to teach me something new about this period in the world's history. The writing is immediately engaging and has left me wanting to read more.
Another plus, it's clear that there is a long list of characters, both fictional and real, and that the story is set in various locations, so I was delighted to see that there is a character/location list at the start of the story!
