The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

From the Man Booker Prize shortlisted author of The Glass Room, this novel is a compelling blend of adventure and reflection, exploring themes of patriotism, betrayal, and love's boundaries. Marian Sutro, a keen and somewhat naive outsider with a mixed heritage and language skills, is recruited by the SOE to undertake a dangerous undercover mission in wartime France. Trained in espionage techniques, she parachutes into southwestern France with a critical and perilous assignment.
