Book Review: The Book Spy by Alan Hlad

  

The Book Spy by Alan Hlad

Really enjoying this book as it's about a Portuguese father and mother who make it to US and raise their daughter.

Love how Maria is driven and works hard at it.

She's a microphotography artist and knows her trade so well she's trained others who get top positions overseas microfilming newspapers from all countries.

She wants to be right beside him and they work well together. Love how Astors play a part in this read.

Really loved learning of the French freedom trail as it starts at the vineyard and refugees are able to make it to Portugal and then onto US to freedom.

Very familiar with SOE and this is right along that path...

Like how the book goes to present, back to the past so you can fit the missing pieces in yourself.

So many horrific, tragic events during war times, but also touching close moments. So unpredictable and especially the outcome.

Love travel, information, careers, descriptive details, ocean plane, fashion, jewelry, tough times and how all survive. Would read more works from this author, it’s really good. Something for everyone to cherish.

I received this review book from The Kensington Between The Chapters Review Books and this is my honest opinion.
