Her unconventionalities - rally car driving, flying planes and dabbling in intelligence work for the government - earn her a reputation, but she knows who she is at heart: an adventurer.<br /> <b><br /> Paris, 1936. </b>As Europe teeters on the brink of war, a chance encounter with a man codenamed Navarre turns Marie-Madeleine's life upside down. Recruited to help build a resistance network known only as Alliance, she conceals her identity - and her gender - as she navigates a perilous double life away from her children and the man she loves.<br /><br />Bestselling Australian novelist Natasha Lester passionately brings to life the incredible true story of one of history's unsung heroes: Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the only woman to lead a resistance network in WWII France.<br /><br /><b>'Lester writes with razor-sharp research and admiration for a woman whose name deserves to be blazed across the pages of history'</b> KATE QUINN<br /><br /><b>'Gripping . . .
