Welcome to Litsy!

American pilot Tom Jaeger is shot down in Normandy and taken in by the Resistance. He becomes a key part in their plan to get information on the Germans and their plans for the Caen Canal Bridge. Brigitte Durand, a prostitute at a Germans-only brothel, passes information to Tom, to help the Allies. Their window of opportunity is closing, as invasion looms. ls the Resistance being foolhardy by placing their faith in a pilot and a prostitute?

This is a book that will stay with me for a long time. It's not a light read. The story was woven with history, and there are no flat secondary characters. This isn't a book I'd recommend for young readers. Some of the subject matter is adult, with a few occasions of violence, but it is clean. Just like in real life, there's both good and bad in people, and the distinction between whose side you're on isn't always easy. Good read. #Christyaward
