You should know this story
A Woman of No Importance is a biography of Virginia Hall, a heroic World War II spy who, again and again, was treated as unimportant because she was just a woman. Although Sonia Purnell put together honest research for this book, the story of Hall's life is almost unbelievable. How could one person accomplish so much in such dire circumstances and keep going back for more?
At first I was put off by this book because it is another World War II story, and I'm tired of them. If you are the same, let this book be the exception. While I can't say I agree with The New York Times that "This book is as riveting as any thriller," I did find it more than interesting, and I do recommend it.
More people should know this story. That's why I am glad to read that a movie based on this book is in development.
