Another WWII Hero
This was a fairly good book. The story concept was superb. A woman is willing to do whatever her country needs to defeat the Nazis.
So, she becomes a spy working with the underground in France. Unfortunately, she captured and is executed by the Germans.
The writing in the book is thin and the characters needed more work, except for the main character.
Just an ok book. Lightly recommend.

Interesting life
This woman led an interesting life. A dangerous one in the end. I just fascinated by real life spies and secret agents. This woman didn't disappoint. It was an interesting read.

Interesting but sad end to a brilliant person
It was the first time I had heard of her. I think I would have been drawn to her honesty and tolerance. Such brave and honest people need to be valued.

Noor Khan
An incredible story of an incredibly brave woman! The strength of her is commendable! She gave her life for the fight against the Nazis for her country and all the allies fighting against Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Exceptional story about an Exceptional person
The life and times about this exceptional young woman begins with her father. It clearly shows how the attention of a parent to their child makes all the difference to whom that child becomes.

While not advertised as such, I feel this book is aimed at YA readers. I found the sentence structure to be simplistic and a lot of Noor's life glossed over. I'd really like to find a much more comprehensive book on her life. Please note it's only 125 pages.

Very interesting story about history. It's crazy just how things went on in those days. Read during the Corona Virus Pandemic of 2020.
