review 1: As a fan of Rachel Hore's other books, I expected good things from this novel. However I found the story a bit slow-moving, as though the author had bitten off more than she could chew. I enjoyed the setting and the conflict of Beatrice's relationship with the Wincanton family, but the modern part of the story was left a little flat. Unfortunately, I had lost interest in the characters by the end of the book, so that was quite disappointing. Great story idea, but just lacked some oomph!
review 2: Great read - tells story of women SOE agents during WW2 and of the sacrifices they made. The inspiration was Violet Szabo and Odette Churchill, both of whom were mothers of young children. The book is well written and conveys meaningfully what it must have been li
... moreke for those women and others like them. You also get very well the sense of what it must have been like for their families and loved ones. A must read for those who want to get a feel for the sacrifices and bravery and what that generation endured. less
