Description
Book SynopsisThe gripping account of World War Two's legendary heroine, who risked her life to save her country and her lover.
Trade ReviewThe truth is that Sebastian Faulk's novel...stands on its own, but so does
She Landed by Moonlight, the long-awaited biography that Agent Pearl deserves. * The Times *
Dialogue is recreated, scenes are set and we are given a character's thoughts, feelings and reactions. Pearl's story [is] so well-documented and her exploits so extraordinary. * Independent Book of the Week *
Quietly moving... Carol Seymour-Jones has done an excellent job in bringing Witherington's courage, commitment and ability to light, sensibly focusing on her war years when she lived to her full potential. * Spectator *
It took until 2004 - four years before her death - for her own country to belatedly present her with a CBE. As this biography makes clear, the brave and wholly admirable Pearl Witherington deserved much, much better. * Sunday Times *
Carole Seymour-Jones does full justice to a truly remarkable and little-known woman. * Country Life *
This biography successfully establishes her in the pantheon of the very bravest and best, up there with such legendary figures as Violette Szabo, Andree Borrel, Madeline Damerment and Nancy Wake. -- Sebastian Faulks * Mail on Sunday *
Thoroughly researched and perceptive * The Lady *
'A gripping tale. A story of narrow escapes, lost and betrayed comrades and incessant danger.' * Literary Review *
