I do like to read historical fiction/romance and this book had a bit of both in it. Most of it was historical fiction about a woman who finds herself in an insane asylum, thinking she is not sane, charged with a crime she has no memory of doing. Some of the facts presented in this book were true, which always makes it interesting. There was suspense, mystery, and a bit of romance. The book kept me interested til the end although it wasn’t as compelling as some I’ve read but I did like the book. It’s a great read and if you like your historical fiction during war time you’ll love this book. It doesn’t pull everything together until the end you’ll have to wait, it will be worth the wait.
I received this book from NetGalley in kindle format. I am posting this review of my own volition! I love the book.
Description as found on Good Reads:
England, 1947: A young woman finds herself under close observation in an insane asylum, charged with a violent crime she has no memory of committing. As she tries to make sense of her recent past, she recalls very little.
But she still remembers wartime in Yugoslavia. There she and her lover risked everything to carry out dangerous work resisting the Germans—a heroic campaign in which many brave comrades were lost. After that, the trail disappears into confusion. How did she come to be trapped in a living nightmare?
As she struggles to piece together the missing years of her life, she will have to confront the harrowing experiences of her special-operations work and peacetime marriage. Only then can she hope to regain the vital memories that will uncover the truth: is she really a violent criminal…or was she betrayed?
