Books
On the night of the 22nd of September 1943, Pearl Witherington, a 29-year-old British secretary and agent of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), was parachuted from a Halifax bomber into occupied France. Like Sebastian Faulks' heroine, Charlotte Gray, Pearl had a dual mission: in her case, to fight for her beloved, broken France and to find her lost love. 'She Landed by Moonlight' takes us from Pearl's harsh, impoverished childhood in Paris, to the lonely forests and farmhouses of the Loir-et-Cher where she would become a true 'warrior queen'.
