D-Day Girls

Absolutely amazing. This book has claimed the #1 favourite spot for me. Although I sometimes had to refer back since there are so many people and roles to memorize, it was still a delight. Sarah Rose did a fantastic job at illustrating the realities of being a spy; never sugar coating while simultaneously avoiding any hyperbolic statements. What I appreciate the most is that the female spies were not romanticized and did not need their male counterparts come to their rescue (actually, in the case of Odette Samson and Peter Churchill, it was the opposite!).

My review does not do justice for just how amazing this book is. 10/10 would recommend!
