Review: An interesting read of a woman who went to war leaving her family behind. The trials and tribulations of that state of affairs and her worries etc. Whilst I found it interesting it was a book i could put down and come back too. It concentrated on her but at the same time gave an insight into life as an active spy in the field during wartme.
