Book 8 in 2021.
“Code Name Hélèn” by Ariel Lawhon.
I could not put this down. Few things about it that makes it soar.
My all time favorite genre WWII historical fiction.
A hardcore female spy in the resistance.
Had the most amazing love story intertwined.
Ugh. This book. Now I have mentioned before, I do not read too much about what a book is about before I start it. Basically look at the title. I had no idea this was based on an actual person. This is a fictional account of the real Nancy Wake. I kept wondering is this a true story? Ariel Lawhon nailed the balance of fiction and nonfiction. I feel like sometimes you can tell when it is based on a true story, because there will be parts that have a little bit too much information on a certain section. Not this book. So good. Tough read, I mean, it has to be, war is ugly. Overall afterthought, loved it.
