A Song of Courage |
Who would have thought that two middle-class sisters - one a civil servant the other a Mills & Boon writer - would be instrumental in saving the lives of Jewish families from Nazi prosecution in the thirties? But this work of fiction is based on the lives of Ida and Louise Cook who, using opera-going as their cover, did just that. The writing is a bit overblown perhaps but it is a real page-turner.
