{"product_id":"9780991518425","title":"Code Name Nanette","description":"Meet the Women Warriors of World War II. 2014 is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and the truth about the female heroes who loved and fought on the front lines as intensely as their male counterparts, has still never been told. Who were they? What did they do, and why did they do it? Code Name Nanette, M.E. Dawson's sensual and thought-provoking exploration of the nature and variety of love, which plays out against the bloody backdrop of World War II, answers all three questions. Characters who will surprise you. Dawson's quirky and intelligent narrative begins when Joe Parker's quest to discover his grandfather's identity leads him to a former British secret agent, code name Nanette, who served with his grandmother in France during the war. Although Nanette is prematurely confined to a nursing home by illness, Joe soon discovers she's still the same saucy and adventuresome vixen she was fifty years before inside. He's no match for her. Unexpected relationships. At first Joe sees Nanette as a frustrating and inappropriate old biddy, but respect and an unconventional friendship grow between them as the old spy surprises him with secrets she's kept for half a century, first his grandmother's and then her own. By the time all is revealed, she's given Joe the one thing he most desperately needs--a new understanding of sex, love, aging, and women. He'll never see them, young or old, the same way again. Not just another World War II spy tale. Dawson nails the historical details, creating a strong sense of the time, the place, and the urgent uncertainty of life during the German occupation. But the heart of her story lies in the enduring personal relationships that take root and struggle to bloom in the shadow world of Nazi oppression. She opens a window into the hearts and the minds of women who risk everything for love and freedom. The result is more than a history lesson. It's a revealing and touching triumph of courage, love, and hope against all odds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eM. E.
