A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW…
Why read it?
1 author picked The Sisterhood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I had to skim several sections of this nonfiction book because it was tough for me to process all the brutal, unrelenting details of how real women have been mistreated and mishandled by Western intelligence services.
But I came away with a more complete sense of what it takes to work in espionage and how necessary it is to understand exactly what you’re fighting for when every day can be a neverending shitshow.
Also, the title definitely pays off, so hang in there if you can, reader.
