Summary
France, 1944. The streets are filled with swastikas. This is the story of a brave English girl behind enemy lines, a German soldier, and a terrible sacrifice.
When young English nurse Sibyl Lake is recruited as a spy to support the French resistance, she doesn’t realize the ultimate price she will end up paying. She arrives in Colmar, a French town surrounded by vineyards and swarming with German soldiers, but her fear is dampened by the joy of being reunited with her childhood sweetheart Jacques.
Sibyl’s arrival has not gone unnoticed by Commander Wolfgang von Haagan, and she realizes that letting him get closer is her best chance of learning enemy secrets. Yet despite her best intentions, Sibyl soon finds that betrayal does not come easy to her.
When Jacques finds that Sibyl is involved with the enemy, he is determined to prove himself to her with one last act of heroism - an act that will put all of their lives in terrible danger.
A beautifully written, heart-wrenching, and unforgettable tale of love and loss in a time of war, The Soldier’s Girl is perfect for fans of The Letter by Kathryn Hughes and The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

At first I was unsure of the different languages and accents but once I got used to them I was hooked. Great story and very talented reader.

Enjoyable
I found this quite hard to warm too but once the heroine was an Adult it was enjoyable. I found the narrator a bit "winey" and the end of the novel rushed. but on the whole liked the story.

Great story but poorly narrated
Enjoyed the story but not the narration. Many mispronunciations in French such as Lorraine and Jeanne among others. The lisp was annoying too.

Brilliant book
I really enjoyed this book, as the author said at the end it wasn't "completely true" but there were many towns and villages over the waters that was very much like the story of the solider girl. Men and woman who could not stand the Germans invading their country's. The narrator took quite a while to get used to but I'm glad I did because it was a brilliant story.
