Review
Yvonne is divorced and raising a young daughter. She is determined to help with the war effort. Because of her age, she is having trouble finding a cause who will let her help. So, when the war takes a turn for the worse, Yvonne ends up being a famous demolition expert.
This story is a bit drawn out and can get a bit slow, especially during all the different operations. But, I did enjoy Yvonne. She is tough, intelligent, and strong. I love that the author uses a real person. It always makes the story more personable and has me researching.
The narrator, Amy Scanlon, did a good job. There are quite a few characters and she had a voice for every one.
