I didn't have enough space for this observation in my previous note. I appreciate your Author's Note in The Frozen River. However I was surprised at the statement (when describing your own choice of a doctor instead of a midwife) "there are times when it is wise to put your medical care in the hands of a MAN who knows how to use a scalpel". That struck me as very sexist and inconsistent with your work?

I was only referencing the fact that my OBGYN at the time happened to be a man, nothing more. (I see a female doctor now). And I remain deeply grateful to him for saving my son's life.

Hello Ariel (I hope you don't mind my calling you by your first name). I am currently reading CODE NAME HELENE and I have so many emotions.. hope, heartbreak, rage. I do plan on reading up on some nonficion on Nancy Wake, but as I read, can I ask do you know if the scene with Olivia Sautine was fictional or did that actually happen? Thank you in advance, and I look forward to reading more of your books.
