A very soft 3 stars. This is the tale of Africa de las Heras aka Maria Luisa aka war hero, spy extraordinaire of the USSR. This extraordinary woman really existed. From the Spanish Civil War all through WW2, the Cold War she stood tall and did her duty.
Alicia Dujovne Ortiz wrote a fictional account of this amazing woman life and it's using fiction that didn't sit well with me, it kinda cheapens the life of Africa. You don't believe she's actually real. I had to check to be sure. That kinda tells me the writer didn't do a really good job of making me believe she was. I'm hoping to one day read a biography of Africa de las Heras, woman, revolutionary, assassin, actress, colonel, all around master spy.
