Resistance

De: Mara Timon

Narrado por: Kristen Atherton

Three women. One mission. Enemies everywhere.

May 1944. When spy Elisabeth de Mornay, code name Cécile, notices a coded transmission from an agent in the field does not bear his usual signature, she suspects his cover has been blown—something that is happening with increasing frequency. With the situation in occupied France worsening and growing fears that the resistance has been compromised, Cécile is ordered behind enemy lines.

Having rendezvoused with her fellow agents, Léonie and Dominique, together they have one mission: help the resistance destabilize German operations to pave the way for the Normandy landings.

But the life of a spy is never straightforward, and the in-fighting within the resistance makes knowing who to trust ever more difficult. With their lives on the line, all three women will have to make decisions that could cost them everything—for not all their enemies are German.

Lots of shark jumping

I do appreciate that it’s fiction, but I did not appreciate how much I would have to suspend disbelief for a large parts of the story. There was also lots of time, jumping for individuals in one part of a city could miraculously transport themselves to neighboring districts with no reference to the significant challenges and traveling during this period. The ending suggest there will be a third installment. I will not be there for that.
