This is a very well written account of nine women who were part of the resistance during the second world war. Told through the personal accounts of the women and research by the author, a grand niece of one of the women, this is a tale that needs to be told and read. The details of the torture and brutality the women endure and witness is chilling but their strength of character is inspiring. I really want to read how they managed to escape the concentration camp they were in.
