The Invisible Woman

I love books about real people and events. I love learning things from them that I never knew before. Prior to reading this book, I had no idea who Virginia Hall was or that she was a pioneering agent of the United Kingdom’s Special Operations Executive. She was an American who became the first female agent to take up residence in France. A young woman from Baltimore who found her calling as an Allied Spy working to stop the Nazis.

The Invisible Woman tells her story and those she worked with. She was brave and took many risks. She was incredible brave and cunning. The research that went into the writing was extensive and impressive. The reader will come away both educated and enlightened. Virginia Hall is yet another example of a person rising above shining. She was an ordinary person doing the extraordinary. Reading about her had me wondering, would I have been that brave? Could I have been a spy? Where does someone find it inside of them, to look danger in the face and keep going.

Fans of historical fiction and war books will enjoy this book.
