I must confess that I do not really know much about what happened during world war two and I have never really been interested in war stories, films, books, fact or fiction.. So when I started reading City of Spies I did so not knowing if this was really going to be my sort of book.
I soon decided that it was a book that I would enjoy reading and that was probably because the main character was a woman. So I continued reading and I did learn a lot from the story. For a start, I did not know what a `SOE' was because I had never heard of ` Special Operations Executive' before and I also did not know that Portugal was neutral during the conflict.
So not only did I learn a lot of history from the book, I had a great time reading a very exciting story.
