What is this book about?

Why should I read it?

24 authors picked North Woods as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

“With the expansiveness and immersive feeling of two-time Booker Prize nominee David Mitchell’s fiction (Cloud Atlas), the wicked creepiness of Edgar Allan Poe, and Mason’s bone-deep knowledge of and appreciation for the natural world that’s on par with that of Thoreau, North Woods fires on all cylinders.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Book cover of Operation Moonlight

What is my book about?

Operation Moonlight is a dual-timeline historical novel, inspired by the brave female secret agents of the Second World War. 1944: Newly-trained SOE secret agent Elisabeth is faced with an impossible mission – to parachute into Nazi-occupied France and send back information on the Germans’ deadly long-range missiles. Her only advice: trust no one.

2018: Betty is about to turn 100. When she receives an invitation from the local Century Society to meet other centenarians and reminisce, she remains mysteriously tight-lipped about her past. But when her carer, Tali, discovers a suitcase in Betty’s cellar containing letters and a gun, Betty’s secrets refuse to stay hidden any longer.
