A great story of a woman of great courage and fortitude. But; I am not sure how true some of it is; maybe because I am born cynic and know from experience things often get embellished upon in the retelling. I have read quite a bit about the Second World War but none quite like this one. It's interesting in the aspect it tells of how the everyday person lived and dealt with having their country invaded and turned into a killing field. It tells the story of those who choose to fight for the allies undercover. I had never heard of the woman until I decided to buy and read this book. It attracted me because it was in a different vein from most war stories. It is well researched and informative. I got online and looked her up; just to see what was said about her. It is a good read. I enjoyed the story and gave the read a unique glimpse into the era and the people who lived it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Happy for daring " et avoir cueilli les roses de sa vie ".By VisaFor those of us who had had one great event to remember which was our personal Continental Divide can relate to ChristineHer patriotism is unequaled even though originally fueled by the need to be accepted by other Poles who snubbed her . I found her total abandon to experience all sensations without care as to consequences enviable. Only such a war could give cover for her recklessness and unabashed daring . I am happy that she " loved and lived" . After the war ; after such "monumental experiences" how could she have lived on domesticated and ordinary ? and for what ? her country; family lost ; and having to deal with the ravages of aging ! it is hard to be a survivor and not to feel guilty for having made it and live with people like some of her negative critics who lived sheltered lives and could never understand what it was like to live under communist oppression ;prison; loneliness. Thank you Clare Mulley for your inspiring story.
