Hubby gave me this for Christmas, and I started it this morning. I‘m already intrigued. WWII fiction; he knows me well😂

Lista_0522 I‘m not usually into historical books based around the time of war (I hate when the best characters die🥲) but just looking at the cover, this looks like it would be good. Or at the very least, my interest is peaked! 11h

I decided to give historical fiction a try & this one is fast paced, & well researched. I am impressed by the way the author wrote the MCs.
Maria fights to serve her country in WW2, and earns her way to Portugal where her microfilm skills are needed to collect Nazi publications. She works with a Portuguese freedom fighter who runs an underground Jewish network, and serves as a double agent to the Nazis.
3/5 read for a good story based in history
