I was excited about this novel. Woman spy, WWII. It started with a major heart pounding scene...woman about jump out of an airplane over enemy territory and for what? Who was she? What had she become?

And then the book went back to her recruitment, her training, Benoit, and a whole bunch of nattering about this and that. A weird losing of one's virginity, talk of science, bombs, nattering, nattering...

Too much talk and scene set up, too little action. By the halfway point, nothing particularly exciting occurred.

For what the books was advertising, I was just expecting something more action-packed.
