Description

Somerville's War: An Untold Tale of Deception, Betrayal and Romance in Occupied France. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this gripping novel tells the story of SOE Somerville, a top-secret finishing school for spies on England's south coast. The school's students are drawn from a diverse community of intrigue and counter-intrigue, where deception and betrayal lurk around every corner. As the events unfold, a complex web of relationships and loyalties is revealed, leading to a tense life-or-death climax in occupied France. Based on real-life events, this book brings to life the famous Special Operations Executive 'finishing school' for spies, SOE Beaulieu in the New Forest, which was renamed SOE Somerville. It also explores the story of master spy and traitor Kim Philby, who lectured at SOE Beaulieu. With its fast-unfolding plot and richly detailed setting, Somerville's War is a compelling read for fans of espionage and war fiction.
