A British nurse in WWI German-occupied Brussels, Evelyn Marche spends her days at the hospital and her nights working at a café . . . or so it seems. Eve's most carefully guarded secret is that she also spends her nights carrying out dangerous missions as a spy for a Belgian resistance group.
When a plane crashes as she's en route to a rendezvous, Eve is the first to reach the downed plane and is shocked to recognize the badly injured pilot as British RFC Captain Simon Forrester. She risks her life to conceal him from the Germans, but as the secrets between them grow and the danger mounts, can they still hope to make it out of Belgium alive?
Normally I am not a fan of books set in the first and second world war, but have to say this book was very interesting, both from a historical sense and as a story in itself. The story moves along at a fast pace and you have to keep up with it. I learned a lot about spies and the underground network that I previously didn't know. Once again the author's notes at the end fills in a number of questions you may have and as with many good books, this story includes both fact and fiction in it.
The love story between Eve and Simon is so interesting as well and what they went through throughout this book shows how much love can make you hold on to whats important. There were many brave people in this book that risked their lives to help others.
Stars out of 5 :5 A really good book with plenty going on in it to keep you interested. It's also educational, as I learned a thing or two from it. I look forward to reading more books by Kate.
