Set in Paris and Lisbon in the Second World War, the spy network and work that is done is under the spotlight in this novel.
The speed of the novel is steady all the way through and the pace never faltered. The timeline was stretched over a long period but this was believable
I took longer than normal to read this book as I wanted to enjoy each line. The characters were very believable and their stories made the black and white of war look grey. They show that people are people, just depending on which country they were from is not a reason for them to be an enemy.
The story makes you wonder what really happened in the War and what the SOE got up to. It has definitely sparked an interest in me to read more into these true life heroes.
