Overview

She smooths her light blue coat with trembling hands as a man approaches. 'Felix?' he says, and she nods. 'We weren't expecting a girl.' He smiles, but panic grips her throat at what he says next. 'Whoever you are, you've been betrayed...' 1943, Nazi-occupied Holland. Turning up her collar against the wind, Trix prepares for her rendezvous. Hidden in the bottom of her bag are coded instructions from the British Special Operations Executive and a silk handkerchief, secretly printed with a map of her next meeting point. She knows working for the Dutch resistance is dangerous, but she must put her past behind her and become someone new... someone brave. Trix's friends think she's a secretary - they can never know the truth. Living a double life is desperately lonely, but the longer she goes under her alias, Felix, the more comfortable she becomes with this new version of herself: one who will stand up for what is right, and fight for those who can't. That is, until the warm brown eyes of a pilot from her past spark hope for a life after the war. But when she's ambushed and imprisoned by German soldiers posing as men from the Dutch resistance, Trix must lean on everything she's learnt if she's going to survive and grasp her chance at love. These soldiers see her as just a woman. But is that her greatest weapon? In war, often it's those we underestimate the most who have the power to change everything... Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Girl with Two Names is a totally heartbreaking and emotional World War Two novel of bravery, sacrifice and the power of hope in dark times. Perfect for fans of Heather Morris, Kristin Hannah and Fiona Valpy. Readers love Imogen Matthews: 'Wrecked me... A gut punch... Hit me so hard I had to stop reading for a second and just feel it...
