Sensational...
Readers love Ellie Midwood: AMAZING read! I loved this so much!...
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network, and The Lilac Girls will be utterly swept away by this emotional page-turner about the brave woman who risked her life every day by coming face-to-face with enemy-the monsters who killed her loved ones.
And my day of reckoning had arrived...
The person who fetched them tea, typed their letters, and made them laugh was their enemy.
Because I wasn\'t just a Secretary: I was an Undercover Jewish girl.
I was sure he could hear the thrashing of my heart.
I couldn\'t stop my hands from trembling.
Do you? he asked.
I don\'t know where the leak came from.
He stood over me
I could almost feel his breath on my neck.
On the wall, the clock ticked loudly.
I sat at the desk, reaching for the typewriter and adjusting the paper.
Panelled oak walls, a grand piano in the corner, rugs lining the floor-the place where he ordered executions every day.
The head of Gestapo called me into his office.
There was a traitor in their midst: someone had leaked a list of the SS to the British press.
Inside the Gestapo headquarters, you could cut the tension with a knife.
It was a misty Wednesday morning.
This heartbreaking World War Two page-turner tells the incredible true story Dora Schaul, one of history\'s most courageous women.
They knew what I\'d done.
They knew who I was.
Time itself stood still.
The room was suddenly devoid of air.
My heart was thrashing inside my chest like a bird battering its wings.
With tremendous effort, I forced myself to hold his gaze.
France, 1942
