Set against the backdrop of WWII, Bacon’s engrossing tale is full of vivid details, taking readers on a young woman’s journey to self-realization.
The enigmatic Millicent Trayford, a brilliant agent for British Intelligence, has dedicated her life to destroying the insidious Nazi V1 and V2 bombs. But when she unearths her true passion for photography, Millie must make a choice between duty and desire. As she is reassigned to thwart the Nazis’ deadly weapons program before D-Day, Millie is constantly reminded of who she used to be by RAF pilot Callum, who offers her an alternative life away from the war and her fiancé Elliot. However, as the pressures of her work intensify, Millie must confront her true self and decide where her loyalties lie.
As the gripping plot unfolds, the harsh realities of war and its toll on humanity are laid bare. Bacon skillfully highlights the overlooked contributions of women during wartime, shedding light on their pivotal roles in achieving victory. Beyond the web of espionage lies Millie’s true battle – a yearning for independence that defies societal norms and challenges the men in her life. With seamless interweaving of real historical facts and fiction, this gripping tale offers a poignant exploration of dreams versus duty, love, passion, family, societal constraints of the era, and female empowerment.
