Oh this book!! This book was full of so much. History, drama, love, resistance, I could go on and on. But I am afraid this is one of those books where my descriptions in no way do it justice! This is a book I will recommend to every history fan. The research and effort were amazing. And it is so well written!!
Just pick up the book!!

I'm a sucker for a WWII historical piece and this book did not disappoint! The main character, Monica, hails from Great Britain and moves to Denmark after marriage. She is middle aged when the Nazis invade and was a critical part of the resistance efforts, opening up her home to others. She was betrayed toward the end of the war and was sentenced to death. Her sentence was commuted after protest, and she ended up dying in a hospital just before the war ended. This story was captivating and held my attention throughout. It was full of suspense and drama and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Monica Beresford Wichfeld lived life on her terms and without apology. As a young woman, she socialized with some of the most famous people of her era. It tells about feminism and Independence.
