A female American spy in Nazi-occupied France finds purpose behind enemy lines in a novel of unparalleled danger, love, and daring by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Beantown Girls.

Anna Cavanaugh is a restless young widow and brilliant French teacher at an all-girls school in Washington, DC. Everything changes when she’s recruited into the Office of Strategic Services by family friend and legendary WWI hero Major General William Donovan.

Donovan has faith in her--and in all his “glorious amateurs” who are becoming Anna’s fast friends: Maggie, Anna’s down-to-earth mentor; Irene, who’s struggling to find support from her husband for her clandestine life; and Julia, a cheerful OSS liaison. But the more Anna learns about the organization’s secret missions, the more she longs to be stationed abroad. Then comes the opportunity: go undercover as a spy in the French Resistance to help steal critical intelligence that could ultimately turn the tide of the war.

Dispatched behind enemy lines and in constant danger, Anna is filled with adrenaline, passion, and fear. She’s driven to make a difference - for her country and for herself. Whatever the risk, she’s willing to take it to help liberate France from the shadows of occupation and to free herself from the shadows of her former life.

I enjoyed the epilogue the most. The effort to align with history and feature women’s role in WW2 was beyond my expectations, but fascinating.

Loved the character development, but found the reader a bit whiney.

Love, war, and spies! Loved every minute of it. So well-written I felt like I was there. My next listen will be by the same author. I love WW II books and this was one of the best. Although the heroine is almost a superwoman, Healey had me believing it all beginning to end. And I did not want it to end. It feels like if I googled the OSS, I would find Anna there right along with Donovan. A great listen!

A 25yr old woman is passionate to join the war effort after her young husband is killed in action. She becomes an asset, as her Frech is as good as a native speaker and her family has connections in the Office of Strategic Services, I enjoyed the spy aspect of the novel as much as the romance and action portions. A satisfying read.
Sarah Mollo-Christensen did a fantastic job of narrating this book in such a way as to increase the suspense, fear, and excitement. A very enjoyable listen.

Wonderful historical set during WWII

I will say this book grabbed me from the get go. It pulled me in and made me want to listen until the very end even though it was very predictable. The only question was which man was she going to end up with. It seems to be a pattern with these types of books. One girl, two men, which one does she choose? Which one dies and which one does she end up with in the end.
I did think the narration was very good. Which is important for a book like this.

Predictable

I have read a few books about the resistance, this was one of the best!

Hated to turn it off to go to bed.

This is the second book by Jane Healey with narration by Sarah Mollo-Christensen. Both books were based on WWII and the roles of women. Both held my attention. The narrator is excellent! Has great ability for accents.
Will look for more similar audio books.

Excellent narrator

Very engaging and fast moving story about bravery and loss. Loved the real life accounts that were shared as a part of the research. The narrator’s voice at first was hard for me, but I warmed up to it.

Powerful story!
