Title: Spy Pdf A Novel
At eighteen, Alexandra Wickham is presented to King George V and Queen Mary in an exquisite white lace and satin dress her mother has ordered from Paris. With her delicate blond looks, she is a stunning beauty who seems destined for a privileged life. But fate, a world war, and her own quietly rebellious personality lead her down a different path.
By 1939, Europe is on fire and England is at war. From her home in idyllic Hampshire, Alex makes her way to London as a volunteer in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. But she has skills that draw the attention of another branch of the service. Fluent in French and German, she would make the perfect secret agent.
Within a year, Alex is shocking her family in trousers and bright red lipstick. They must never know about the work she does—no one can know, not even the pilot she falls in love with. While her country and those dearest to her pay the terrible price of war, Alex learns the art of espionage, leading to life-and-death missions behind enemy lines and a long career as a spy in exotic places and historic times.
Spy follows Alex’s extraordinary adventures in World War II and afterward in India, Pakistan, Morocco, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Washington, D.C., when her husband, Richard, enters the foreign service and both become witnesses to a rapidly changing world from post-war to Cold War. She lives life on the edge, with a secret she must always keep hidden.
Spy is a rewarding and enjoyable read I have not read a Danielle Steel novel in ages. In the past, I found her books to be somewhat lacking in substance and in the realm of mass market fiction. I am a lover of historical fiction and after reading the synopsis of Spy, thought I’d give it a whirl. I am glad I did. This novel is well written and is well researched. Spy is a rewarding and enjoyable read.In 1939, Alex Wickham is a young woman who comes from a patriotic upper class British family and has led a life of privilege. After discovering her talent for foreign languages, the British SOE recruits Alex to become an agent for them. For the duration of WW ll she successfully undertakes several perilous assignments for them. After the war she marries her wartime sweetheart RAF pilot, Richard Montgomery who has taken a job in the British diplomatic core. M16 recruits Alex to work for them when her husband firsts serves in India to help coordinate the independence and partition process. This proves to be a very trying time for Alex and Richard. She continues to work for them throughout all his diplomatic assignments in various parts of the world.Along her journey throughout WWll and postwar, Alex deals with several heartbreaking personal tragedies. She proves to a strong,resilient woman. Her tenacity for life and her job is second to none. In Alexandria Wickham, Danielle Steel has created a memorable character which I greatly admire.Good I enjoyed this story very much. I have always been interested in World War II stories, especially since I was born in 1941. It was a time when our country was united. We had pride in our President and our country.Another great story I loved the time line and how everything was layer out in a historic series of events,a page turner as well as an ever guessing plot! I loved the bonds built among the characters as life continues to keep them all very busy very far apart.great story great escape,great education
