Lucinda Riley tells the story of Emilie, who inherits the seat of their noble family in the South of France in 1999 and slowly the mystery of her father comes to the track, and the sent of Constance, an Englishwoman who trained during the 2nd World War as a spy and on continent becomes. The CVs of both family mingle and entwine during the course of the book.
While Emilie is beginning to good faith, indecisive and "memmend" Constance is immediately sympathetic, tackling, but still feel full, and this will remain predominantly. It was particularly interesting to follow their life, because I have learned so far about the women of the SOE (Special Operations Executives) only slightly by the literature, whereas it always has in Emilie feel she was (in spite of study and self-employment) somehow been transported back in time - and by that I mean not just 50 years.
It was also interesting that here the Germans, although certainly villains of history, not all be lumped together, as is otherwise often the case, but Lucinda Riley their figures all nationalities tried to give one thing in particular: Quite different, but more humane traits.
One point deduction because of, in my opinion, bumpy start and the weakness of the "now time"-narrative that can not arrive to the "Back" action.
