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 written by vickie   AUTHOR BIO: Suzy Henderson lives with her husband and two sons in Cumbria, England, on the edge of the Lake District.
