I’d never heard of Odette Samson before starting this book, even though I’d been researching SOE agents for years. But only a few pages in, I knew that Odette was truly one of the greats and that this read would be in my Great WW2 Heroine category.
I HAD, of course, heard of Peter Churchill (no relation to Winston!), who crops up again and again in books about SEO, and who also plays a major role in this book. I loved how Odette, even in the worst circumstances, never lost faith and never gave up; she had an inner strength…
From Sharon's list on World War 2 SOE heroines in France.
