A 2016 World Book Night selection.

April 2015 Book of the Month.

A major departure for Elizabeth Buchan for this is an espionage tale set mostly in Denmark in the Second World War.  If you are wanting a happy ending don’t touch this.  English-born Kay, married to a Dane, gets involved with the resistance movement and in particular with the wireless operators.  We learn a lot about the training of SOE operators and wireless communication forms a large part of the tale, and we learn a lot about male dominance too.  The work of the resistance operators is deglamourised and made out to be of Heath Robinson standard, very chaotic until late in the war.  This illustrates the sacrifice, compromise and heroism of ordinary people.
