This exciting and brave world war II novel tells the riveting tale of an American woman's brave journey through war torn Europe during the secod world war. I will admit that I was hooked and intrigued by this book the moment that I saw the cover on Netgalley. A lot of people like to think that all WWII stories are the same but that is not true they are all different in their own way. In this one we have an exciting plot and interesting characters.
In 1942 We are introduced to a young woman named Avery who lives in New York. She is longing for adventure before she settles down to married life so she decides to jump at the chance for a undercover intelligence gathering job in Portugal. Once she arrives she realizes that this is far more different than her Librarian job.
Avery then becomes acquainted with Camille a bookshop owner from Paris who has been a widow for a year. She has access to enemy material which she gladly hands over to Avery. However, the circumstances involving the death of her husband are very suspicious and the enemy seems to be lurking around every corner. Will Avery and Camille be able to survive this situation without betraying each other.
