The Woman Who Saved the Children

In Praise of
The Spy Who Loved

“Compulsively readable … [Clare Mulley] has written a thrilling book, and paid overdue homage to a difficult woman who seized life with both hands.”


The Sunday Telegraph
(UK)

“Brings alive a glamorous, swashbuckling heroine”


The Sunday Times
(UK)

“Engrossing … Details the high-voltage life of one of Britain’s most remarkable female spies … Fascinating.”


The Mail on Sunday
(UK)

“[A] splendid book … Christine Granville remains as alive, well, and compelling as ever: a figure of radiant magnetism, ruthless determination, and a courage that—as several of them attested—could make a strong man shudder.”


The Telegraph
(UK) (5 stars out of 5)

“Drawing on an unprecedented range of sources, Clare Mulley’s
The Spy Who Loved
is a fine account of Christine Granville’s extraordinary war, told with skill and care.”


Literary Review
(UK)

“A fine and soberly thrilling addition to the literature of the undercover war … This book, massively researched and excitingly told, brings an extraordinary heroine back to life.”


Daily Mail
(UK)

“This is a meticulously researched but also highly readable account of [Granville’s] heroic but unfulfilled and deeply tragic life, without any attempt at gloss. It is one of the most exciting books I’ve read this year.”


The Spectator
(UK)

“Book of the Week.”


The Week

“Mulley has a novelist’s eye for detail.… In this clear, highly satisfying biography, Mulley fleshes out her subject and brings her back to life.”
