My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sarah Rose tells the stories of three remarkable women recruited by Britain to work as part of the French Resistance to sabotage the Nazis and work toward the allied invasion, D-Day, June 6, 1944. Each one is extraordinary in dedication, bravery and accomplishment.

Not only does the author tell each woman's personal story, but she also chronicles much of the history of the war leading up to D-Day. The risks. The sacrifices. The deprivation. The courage it took to keep going and not cave in under pressure. I am so blessed to have read this book, seventy-five years after the events.
