Purchased at the Imperial War Museum whilst on a short trip away to London.

A fascinating set of individual stories all jumbled up together. I still can't decide whether I liked the author's approach of breaking everything into themes and chronology rather than dealing with each woman at a time. On one hand, it prevents repetition. but it does make it much harder to work out each woman was which at times - especially as several of them share first names! The code names made things more complicated to follow as well.

Despite this, as a reader you can't help but be moved by the extraordinary bravery of all of them. Mistakes were made - and I appreciated the inclusion of those - but all of them were incredible in one way or another.

Taken to book festival meetup.
