Fascinating read
A truly mind expanding read! This is a beautifully written and well researched book, which reads like a story, with moments of dilemma and jeopardy as well as insight into methods of espionage, the rise of Communism and the birth of the Cold War. I felt deeply invested in Ursula's story, even though I found it hard to sympathise with her values. I also enjoyed the link to another of my favourite books 'Empire of the Sun' by J.G. Ballard.

Agent Sony by Ben Macintyre
Always interested in true spy stories especially WWII and Female, however my husband read this first and gave it to me knowing I would love it. Hard to put down, didn't want it to end! Great author my goodness the extent of research that went in to this. thank you for writing Agent Sonya.

Agent Sonya
With thanks to BookBrowse for giving me the chance to read and preview Agent Sonya. While I found the book beautifully written and researched and an interesting look into the world of espionage, I prefer historical fiction or my husband’s spy thrillers.
Ursula was a young Jewish woman of Russian heritage living in Nazi Germany,whose choice of attending a Communist demonstration was the catalyst for her future actions.It must be remembered that at that time when most European and German Jews were being annihilated in the Holocaust she was rising in the Soviet espionage system as Agent Sonya.
