Agent Zo! Clare Mulley is brilliant !
Her book about christine Granville is also amazing
Is there anyway to ask her to write a book about Theresa Lubienska?
Agent Zo! I heard Clare Mulley speak at an event when the book was released. Her research experience was so amazing. Loved the book and her writing.
Fantastic book, not ordinarily history about Polish women .
Clare Mulley tells the gripping and amazingly as yet untold story of Agent Zo, a polish woman from a very ordinary background, whose passionate dedication to the cause of her country in WW2 gave her the courage to overcome personal fear, especially a terror of parachuting,
and to achieve what no other female agent was able to.
Agent Zo – A wonderful story, beautifully told. And much looking forward to Clare Mulley’s presentation at our Festival in the North Cotswolds May
