Madame Fiocca by Suzy Henderson

Publication date: December 13th 2019
Genres: Adult, Historical, Young Adult

Synopsis:
      February 1933: Nancy Wake is a gregarious twenty-year-old looking for adventure. Having fled her unhappy family home in Sydney, she becomes a journalist and is thrilled when she is posted to Paris. The city is glamorous, brimming with journalists, artists, and a growing number of refugees.
     Later, in the French Riviera, she uncovers more than news following a chance encounter with wealthy industrialist, Henri Fiocca. Their relationship blossoms as Hitler makes waves across Europe. While on an assignment in Vienna in 1938, she witnesses Nazis whipping Jews on the street and she vows to fight for justice if ever the opportunity arises.
         When Henri is called to the Front to fight, Nancy, determined to help the war effort, joins the Red Cross as an ambulance driver. Every day she witnesses atrocities. When Paris falls, Nancy flees the German oppressors and returns to Marseille.
       A chance encounter with a British officer draws Nancy into the heart of the Garrow escape network, despite Henri’s reservations. Soon she finds herself caught in a deadly game of espionage.
      As the iron fist of the enemy tightens, neighbours denounce neighbours. When the enemy closes in, Nancy and Henri face an impossible choice. Has she done more harm than good?
     Based on a true story, Madame Fiocca weaves an extraordinary tale of survival and redemption in wartime.

REVIEW by VICKIE!
Madame Fiocca - Suzy Henderson

      What an outstanding story. I loved all the history in this book and getting to follow the characters through all they deal with during times of war. I enjoyed learning more of the wars in France and all of that region of the world.
      The characters are so well-developed and easy to follow and to feel their emotions. It has such a real feel of true romance with Henri and Nancy. I shed many tears throughout the story. I appreciate the authors research on Nancy Wake. She was truly a highly decorated hero in WW2. This fictional account of her story is truly heartwarming.
     The title and cover of the book are a perfect fit for the story.
      I highly recommend this book to others who love a great romance and enjoy great historical information.
I give this a literary rating of 5/5
