THE MADEMOISELLE ALLIANCE

In this riveting work of historical fiction, listeners learn about the remarkable exploits of French Resistance leader Marie-Madeleine Fourcade and her intrepid agents who supplied vital information to the Allies during the dark days of WWII. Award-winning narrator Saskia Maarleveld tells this story in a hushed voice and conspiratorial tone. The plot moves swiftly, and listeners follow incidents of bravery, cunning, betrayal, heartbreak, and romance. Marie-Madeleine was a real person and her organization, The Alliance, included 3,000 agents who arranged supply drops, set up clandestine radio transmitters, and mapped locations of key German operations. Maarleveld deftly handles accents and pronunciations of names and places. This is a story that deserves to be told, and this audiobook tells it well. D.L.G.
