Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley, & Penguin Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book before it's publication date! This in no way affected my review, opinions are my own.

I was a little worried going into this that I was burned out on Historical Fiction, especially WWII, and that it would be a slog that would inevitably reading-slump me ... but I could not have been more wrong. 

I was completely immersed in this novel (based on the incredibly true exploits of "the most dangerous of all Allied spies," Virginia Hall) from the very beginning, and even though every thing she endured was worse than the last (made even more so by the guilt and ghosts that Virginia brought with her everywhere) I couldn't stop reading. (Is that a run-on sentence? Yeah, probably.)

The research that Erika Robuck put into this book (and her afterword/bibliography) were evident and much appreciated - I love historical fiction for introducing me to these characters/stories, but I love even more finding the historical sources for the things that I've been introduced to. 

I could not put this book down, and I will always hold Virginia Hall in the highest esteem - this one is much recommended and I'm going to have to look up Erika Robuck's backlist ASAP!

(Also, I got maaajjjooorrr Code Name Hélène vibes with this book - another brilliant WWII Historical Fiction about a not well known female spy, Nancy Wake. If you liked The Invisible Woman, definitely check that one out too!)
