Summary

My name is Sylvie Duchene, and I am a dancer. There is no network. I am just a dancer. I know nothing. Please...I swear it....

An unknown location, occupied France, 1944. Dropping silently behind enemy lines, Sylvia Crichton, codename Monique, is determined to fight for the country of her birth and tear it from its Nazi stranglehold. As one of the dancers at the nightclub Mirabelle, Sylvie’s mission is to entertain the club’s German clientele and learn their secrets. 

In a world of deception and lies, she can trust no one. Not even Mirabelle’s mysterious piano player, Felix...a part of the resistance or a collaborator? But despite her SOE training, nothing can prepare Sylvie for the horrors she witnesses - or the pain of losing those she grows close to undercover....

This is a gripping romance set during WW2 in occupied France for fans of Dinah Jeffries, Kate Quinn and Pam Jenoff.

Loved it

This is the first book I have listened to by this author. Lovely storyline, didn't want it to end. Wish it had gone on longer. Superb narration.

Too emotional to be realistic

I love a WW2 story- fact & fiction , in this example the narrator was great - however the story in my opinion dwelt too much on emotions & was too drippy and unrealistic.
I guess for a romance it was o.k but not my cup of tea unfortunately .

Good Allrounder

Believable plot, well read and realistic characters. One of few books I've seen through to the end recently.

Amazing

This might be my favourite story I’ve ever read. It’s impossible to stop listening once you start
