This woman loved danger & adrenalin. She loved men. But most of all she loved freedom. She was Britain's first female #SpecialAgent of the #SecondWorldWar & her name was #KrystynaSkarbek aka #ChristineGranville #TheSpyWhoLoved.
Happy Valentines Day everyone! -
The wonderful #WW2 veteran, Maj. Zbigniew Mieczykowski has died. One of the last people to see #KrystynaSkarbek (#ChristineGranville) alive, he shared his stories for my bk, #TheSpyWhoLoved. His own memoir, #Horizons, is hugely evocative of time & place, & of his own character. He will be missed.
