The Face of Eve - Betty Burton

When Eve left her home town of Portsmouth, she’d never intended to return. But now she has a confidence and maturity far beyond her years.

From the earliest days of the SOE to covert operations in Europe and then to an unexpected return to Hampshire, Eve is part of the struggle in a way that few other women could manage. The situations in which she finds herself require all of her ingenuity, wit and commitment. And when the time for role-playing and secrecy is over, who can say which is the real face of Eve?
