What made the experience of listening to Nancy Wake the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed listening to Trapeze, but it was fictional. I wanted to find a real story about a real British SOE in France. Nancy Wake came up in Google. A great find. Like Trapeze, the main figure did not display Judeo-Christian moral principles as it pertains to her love life/relationships. Yet her moral principles in all other respects were very tenaciously high. Her conviction in freedom and justice for all was her drive. She says she did not believe in God because her over zealous mother who suffered from depression and always had her nose in the Bible continued to tell Nancy she was going to go to Hell for not being more obedient etc.It was the best book I have read in a while.Found this book after reading Trapeze

Extremely interesting and enlightening story about the French Resistance and a woman who was fearless.

Where does Nancy Wake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
My husband and I brought this book along on our 1000 mile trip with my 87 year old parents. We couldn't wait to get on the road after our rest stops to find out what happens to Nancy. The story was truly inspirational, the reader was easy to understand and her accents and characters were spot on. There aren't many books that I can listen to that interest my husband (a history buff) and my parents (the WWII generation). This was great. This book is in my top 10 list.What was one of the most memorable moments of Nancy Wake?
The solo bike ride through Nazi-held country was a physical and mental ordeal. I can't think of many people who could have accomplished this.What about Stephanie Daniel’s performance did you like?
Her voice is clear and her style fit the atmosphere of the book, from funny moments to the ordeals of warfare - equally wonderful.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Nancy Wake's life was amazing full of life and death and every emotion in between.Any additional comments?
Don't miss this amazing story. I did some research while we were listening to this book which added to our admiration of this woman and all those who struggled against the Nazis.A great story of courage, inspiring for any age!

The flippancy of the writing, and reading, of the book matched the tone very well, overall.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This book is all to positive for the protagonist - Nancy Wake. It needs to have some mud thrown at it with other opinions, self-doubt, failures and real mistakes. It all seems that she made it all happen and directed what was going on. She did in many cases, but every hero is human and so should tell us their short comings to help us relate to them, otherwise they do tend to become two dimensional.Would you listen to another book narrated by Stephanie Daniel?
Stephanie Daniel is an excellent narrator and her mastery of French is excellent. The material she had to work with was a little below what she is capable of but she made a good go of it. She made this book good.Did Nancy Wake inspire you to do anything?
Give it a go.Any additional comments?
I don't like Nancy Wake but that is a personality clash rather than anything she has done that is wrong. She has done some great things, believed in what she was doing, did it in a professional way. She has suffered many loses and had some great rewards. This book describes the hero journey well but there is no 'golden fleece' necessarily at the end. Her story may be embellished and very central focus like many soldiers do, but she has been in combat and so has the right.As for Peter FitzSimons, I have read many of his books and listen to a few. I generally don't like his style although he can tell a story and he is a likeable chap. Why did I bother to read this book then not liking Nancy or Peter, well because I wanted the story and although the subject and author is not to my liking, I wanted to get a general overview of it and this was a good way. Don't expect a book to change your life, but as for a good yarn, this is a good book.
