The Woman with No Name by Audrey Blake

 

1942. Though she survived the bomb that destroyed her home, Yvonne Rudellat's life is over. She's estranged from her husband, her daughter is busy with war work, and Yvonne—older, diminutive, overlooked—has lost all purpose. Until she's offered a chance to remake herself entirely…

The war has taken a turn for the worse, and the men in charge are desperate. So, when Yvonne is recruited as Britain's first female sabotage agent, expectations are low. But her tenacity, ability to go unnoticed, and aptitude for explosives set her apart. Soon enough she arrives in occupied France with a new identity, ready to set the Nazi regime ablaze.

But there are adversaries on all sides. As Yvonne becomes infamous as the nameless, unstoppable woman who burns the enemy at every turn, she realizes she may lose herself to the urgent needs of the cause.

About The Author

 Audrey Blake has a split personality— because she is the creative alter ego of writing duo Jaima Fixsen and Regina Sirois, two authors who met as finalists of a writing contest and have been writing together happily ever since. They share a love of history, nature, literature, and stories of redoubtable women. Both are inseparable friends and prairie girls despite living thousands of miles apart. Jaima hails from Alberta, Canada, and Regina calls the wheatfields of Kansas home. 

 

My Review

 The year is 1942 as this story begins and we are in England, which is being bombed daily, and really not doing well against the evil that in invading Europe.
This is the story of Yvonne Rudellat, a mother of a grown woman, and now a divorcee, but feeling very lost and wanting to do her part. When the opportunity is presented and she goes above and beyond in her training.
Soon we follow her and others that use their training to thwart the enemy, and we are there with as they come of the enemies radar, but that doesn’t stop them!
Be sure to read the author’s notes, these people actually did these efforts, so this is a true story, and we are there through the gift of the author to see what they accomplished!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Sourcebook Landmark, and was not required to give a positive review.
