A review by bisexualwentworth
Agent Josephine: American Beauty, French Hero, British Spy by Damien Lewis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I love Josephine Baker, and I was also really interested in the special agent stuff, but this book really did not work for me. It's really long and wordy. It extrapolates the thoughts and feelings of people involved more than feels reasonable. And it's not really about Josephine Baker. It's certainly not from her perspective. It's the story of her involvement in WW2 as told by the white men around her, and I'm not super interested in that. I'll find a different Josephine Baker biography to read and just accept that I'm not going to be learning much about French special agents in WW2 right now.
