このオーディオブックについて
Pearl Dubois was a Southern Belle. She was born in New Orleans to a prominent and wealthy family. She was also a magician...and a spy.
During the Second World War, Pearl wanted to help the Allied effort. She got a job in the Office of Strategic Services, which later became the CIA. In September of 1944, she began working for William Donovan, the agency’s head. When she translated an important document that revealed the identities of the enemy’s spies, she saw a chance. Why shouldn’t she be the one to take the news to General Patton? Pearl and a willing colleague commandeered a jeep and set off to the dangerous world to find the general.
On her way to deliver her precious documents, she saw the devastation of the French countryside by war. She and her companion encountered frightened farmers and their families. The enemy was always near at hand. And then her luck ran out.
Captured by the Nazis, keeping her secrets close, this Southern Belle learned the price of espionage as well as patriotism. Her courage and quick wit came into play as well as her magic tricks! But how would she manage? Could she escape?
Based on the story of the real-life experiences of Gertrude Sanford Legendre, the first woman to be captured as a spy during WWII, Pearl’s adventures are both inspiring and terrifying.
