A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell
Virginia Hall was a real life James Bond, but better- she managed to fly under the radar of the enemy despite some distinctive physical features- red hair, artificial leg, tall for a woman- and she was never captured.

The blurb makes it seem like Loulie—a young woman in her twenties who goes by … [Read more]
