My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2985198919">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.<br />Gina Thorpe is a priveleged American living in the Philippines with her husband, young daughter, and their servants. When the Japanese attack and occupy the island, imprisoning Americans in internment camps, Gina and her friend Vivian, along with their children escape to the mountains, joining a group of resistance fighters. The leader of the resistance convinces Gina to return to Manila to raise money and act as a spy. Gina eventually opens a nightclub, using the Japanese patron's money and information against them. <br />This is a part of WWII I never knew about. I liked the progression of Gina's character from clueless aristocrat to a strong resistance fighter and business owner. I plan to read A Pledge of Silence, this author's first book, which is more about the internment camps. It sounds really good, too.
