I had a great time with this book and absolutely loved the WWII/Cold War split! Andie Newton always delivers well-researched, believable historical fiction, and this one was no exception. It moved fast, pulled me in early, and kept me fully invested until the very last delicious page. God, loved the ending. No spoilers, but it was perfect.
The undercover work is tense and fun, but the 1950s chapters were a chef’s kiss, keeping the story fresh with a shift into the Cold War. This is very much a cat-and-mouse story that kept me on edge. Be careful who you trust! Viv, dear sweet, Viv. I loved her. Buckle up, because you will not want to stop reading.

Andie Newton is a master storyteller and she’s nailed it once again with this book. I was never a reader of historical fiction until I came across her books and every single one has had me hooked, chilled me to the core (in a good way, at the right moments) and had me rooting for her female protagonists who are based on women who really did these amazing things to support the war effort. It must take a significant amount of research to make everything line up and I am in awe of Newton’s ability to take real life events and create such vivid, believable and compelling stories around them. The League of Lonely War Women is no exception. With another brilliant cast of characters, this fast paced tale of female bravery and contribution to the war effort through exploiting the loneliness of German soldiers for intelligence is a riveting read. I particularly enjoyed the dual time period of this one, which as well as being set at the end of WW2, included the Cold War period (new for me) and added an extra dimension to the story.

Another corker from Andie Newton! As with Newton's previous novels, she's used a little-known aspect of WWII - the real-life League of Lonely War Women - as inspiration, this time for an exciting tale of espionage and bravery behind enemy lines and, in the second half of the book, back home in Washington and New York as our heroines try (and fail) to put their experiences behind them. The main plot is a page turner in itself, but for me it's the portrayal of female friendship and loyalty that makes this book such a great read. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! While the pace at times was a bit quick, Viv’s story was captivating and I couldn’t put it down. I love that it was based on real life events - just another example of how incredible women were during World War II.
