'A thrilling account' Daily Mail 'Extraordinary bravery... made
this woman one of WWII's most remarkable spies. That she survived
the war was almost miraculous' Time The year is 1942, and World War
II is in full swing. Odette Sansom decides to follow in her war
hero father's footsteps by becoming an SOE agent to aid Britain and
her beloved homeland, France. Five failed attempts and one plane
crash later, she finally lands in occupied France to begin her
mission. It is here that she meets her commanding officer Captain
Peter Churchill. As they successfully complete mission after
mission, Peter and Odette fall in love. All the while, they are
being hunted by the cunning German secret police sergeant, Hugo
Bleicher, who finally succeeds in capturing them. They are sent to
Paris's Fresnes prison, and on to concentration camps in Germany,
where they are starved, beaten, and tortured. But in the face of
despair, they never give up hope, their love for each other, or the
whereabouts of their colleagues. This is a portrait of true
courage, patriotism and love amidst unimaginable horrors and
degradation.
