A Secret Courage

Oh, this was good. If you're looking for a WW2 story with a slightly lighter angle than some, this is a good bet. Rather than focusing on atrocities, it focuses on intel and stopping an invasion, so it's thrilling without being soul-shattering, which was good, considering my stressed-out life at the moment! I truly enjoyed learning about the photographic intelligence teams and how they managed to see and recall the smallest details in the pictures in order to alert the government when things changed behind the German lines.

I really enjoyed the interactions between Emma and Will. He shows a fine example of a gentleman, eager to take care of Emma and the children in his life. At the same time, though, he's not an overly macho man. After being injured in the Blitz and nearly losing his arm, he's not healthy enough to go to the front. He quite stole my heart with his quiet reliability and his dedication to his cause.

I received a review copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
