Thank you so much for reviewing this book! I live close to France (I think my city is even named once in the book) and I had no idea of Virginia Hall, and only knew of SOE by name (from the Stross novels). It was very humbling to read about such a fantastic woman with such an engagement despite her handicap. Not only risking her life in Vichy France, but then escaping through the toughest mountain passage, and going back to occupied France. Calling Virginia Hall "amazing" would be an understatement. She is a true hero. It's a shame she got so quickly and easily dismissed after her return to the US, and forgotten.
