Sonia Purnell: Woman of No Importance (2020, Penguin Publishing Group) 3 stars

An incredibly capable woman

3 stars

Biography of Virginia Hall, one of the most effective Allied agents who organised the French resistance during WW2. Lacks the narrative tension to do justice to this incredibly capable woman and the many intense trials she and her associates suffered through. Appalling misogynistic treatment by CIA during Cold War.
