Just finished A Woman of No Importance, by Sonia Purnell. As a French speaking Belgian, I never before heard about this resistance hero. I enjoyed very much this history book which is just very well written. On the story itself, it produced some thinking about why Virginia Hall is so lowly known. I therefore learned a lot with another point of view of WW2 than what the after-war propaganda wanted the people to retain and therefore what remained in history books. All about how she was badly considered just because she had not the right gender was very disturbing too. I advise anyone interested in history to read this book.

I'm going to start reading As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow, by Zoulfa Katouh.
