Description

Edie's disillusionment with life in wartime London is palpable after a traumatic experience during the Blitz. A chance to work with the Secret Operations Executive (SOE) offers a fresh start, parachuting her into France as codenamed 'Yvette'. There, she must navigate the complex web of relationships within her SOE cell and confront the harsh realities of war-torn Europe. Back in London, Vera's desperation to erase her past drives her to work at the foreign office, where she can use her position to blackmail those who wronged her. But when Edie loses contact with one of her fellow agents, codenamed Yvette, Vera's loyalties are torn between duty and personal conviction. A gripping tale of wartime espionage, The English Agent explores the intricate lives and loves of two brave women struggling to survive in a world where all the odds are against them.
