Mission France by Kate Vigurs

This is a really long audiobook - and that might sound like a bad thing, but its really not. There is a lot going on in this book; a lot of people that the narrator is talking about that the listener has to keep track of. Due to that fact, if this is a topic that is a passion and interests you - I would recommend to get an actual physical copy of the book where it might be easier to keep track of everyone in the book. 

As for the audio book, it runs about 10 hours long and the narrator is excellent. 

This review does contain spoilers from here until the end. 

The first bit of the book (while interesting) concerns the names of the women, their recruitment and training as well as what the thought process and actual process was like to get to the point of sending women to the field. At the start of the book, it quickly moves between person to person and location to location which made it a little difficult for me to keep track of everyone involved. 

However, by about one-third to a half of the way through the book was when the women were starting their missions and being deployed - the book became much more engaging and lively to me. All of the women that were involved in the SOE were all located in the same general country, but they rarely, if ever interacted even when their missions might have aligned or been the same. 

Probably my favorite part of the audiobook was towards the end of the book which was talking about the end of the war and the fates of the women - those that survived and those that didn't. 

This book was very educational for me. There was moments of laughter and moments were I almost cried. 

This was a very enjoyable audiobook and I will be putting the hardcover copy on my wish list for books. 

I was given this audiobook by NetGalley and the publishers to listen and review. This is my honest review. 

Five out of five stars
