About this listen

When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.©1987 by Aline, Countess of Romanones (P)1995 by Blackstone Audiobooks Europe Military True Crime Wars & Conflicts Women World War II War Exciting

Some autobiographies disclose shocking secrets, others “spill the tea” on their friends, still others deep-dive into an introspection on their particular corner of the human condition. This one does none of that. However, it is written more-or-less like a spy novel, and contains some of that sense of suspense, and it’s fairly interesting to hear a bit of background behind this woman’s interesting life. The author tends to share very positive impressions of herself (every male character tells her that she is attractive on the first meeting) and I had the feeling that the story is a bit spiced up in places, but it was entertaining, and it kept me listening to the end.

An interesting autobiography of an adventurous life

I loved this book and the audible version. Such a great story, well told. It reads like a novel, but it's a memoir. Now I need the rest of the series, but they don't seem to be available.

Love this; I need more

I liked that the heroine was a person who was very smart and trained, but still made mistakes and had to literally survive in the moment. I liked that it wasn’t all black and white but full of shades of gray and historical and political. A behind the scenes look at the global ramifications of the war, its prelude and its aftermath. True action and suspense and even a little bit of humor.

Very interesting and historical

What a fascinating story. Was so interesting to listen to a first hand account of this time in history. This book sat in my audible library for a couple of years. I wanted to listen…but really thought that it would contain adult themes and language. A few words but mostly pg!!!
Fascinating!!!

Wow…and clean. Pleasantly surprised!!!
