Product Description

Evelyn St John has been parachuted into France to link up with the Resistance. Paul von Hoch's brief, as a member of German Intelligence, is to track down enemy spies. Suddenly the battle lines shift between patriotism and a deeper truth that says love is more important.

Format:Paperback
A wonderful work of fiction that I found completely absorbing. Buchan subtely ratchets up the tension throughout the novel making it compelling reading, so much so I found myself reading the closing pages whilst cooking as I couldn't bear to put it down.

This is a tale woven with complex threads that transports you back to occupied France of the 1940s and the author paints a vivid, detailed and tense picture of the time, laden with atmosphere. I adored the way the characters feelings were explored and their charactrers revealed throughout the story (I fell in love with Jack!). Personally I didn't have to suspend my disbelief all that much as I was familiar with the work of SOE and that female agents were dropped into occupied Eurpoe and also appreciated the meticulous research which was obviously undertaken.

I agree with a previous review that I'd have liked the climax to the adventure to have taken longer. The pace here is a stark contrast to the rest of the novel and I really enjoyed how the author had eeked out every detail in previous chapters to build tension.

My main critisim is that I feel the main character was a little unexplored emotionally. I liked her (and as every man she met seemed completely besotted with her) I'd liked to have got to know her better. I felt we got to know her through everyone ele's eyes rather than her own mind. Perhaps appropriately though she was a bit of a mystery. I think the answer to the unlikeliness of her relationship with the German officer is well explained in the closing pages from Evelyn's own diary. I'd love to know what happened next in another novel though!

I shall certainly remember this tale for a long time.

Good Read 12 April 2008
Format:Paperback
A lovely read, if you are willing to suspend a little credibility. I have read many books in this genre both fact and fiction and know that the research must have been considerable and also the French used is CORRECT and idiomatic, which makes a refreshing change!
In fact, women WERE sent into France from here during World War 2 and excellent agents they made.
The ending was rather weak and could have been a little longer with a little more explanation - you have to read the epitaph and memorial at the end to find the eventual fate of Evelyn.
However, the book evoked the terror, unbelievable bravery and patriotism of the ordinary French citizen and the incredibly brave agents who went out there to help in the struggle against The Third Reich to a high degree.
All in all, a good read and I would recommend that anyone read it.
