Inspired by the real-life story of SOE agent Eileen Nearne, this dual timeline historical fiction novel explores the legacy of a forgotten heroine.
Torquay, 2007
Dr Mia Thompson is no stranger to silence. But when a new client-reclusive and enigmatic-invites her into a quiet seaside home, Mia uncovers something extraordinary: a past veiled in secrecy and bravery.
Her client is Eileen Nearne, once a radio operator for Churchill's Special Operations Executive. Dropped into Nazi-occupied France, Eileen risked everything to support the Resistance. Her story-marked by betrayal, capture, torture, and resilience-is one of extraordinary courage. Yet after the war, she was dismissed, interrogated, and left in the shadows.
As Mia digs deeper, determined to bring Eileen's truth to light, she partners with Sebastian Stone, a local journalist with demons of his own. What begins as a tribute becomes a journey-into the heart of quiet heroism, family ties, and the wounds war leaves behind.
The Echo of Valour: Codename Rose is a gripping WWII and dual timeline novel, perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Kit Sergeant, Ellie Midwood, and Kate Quinn. Set between modern-day England and wartime France, it honours the forgotten stories of female spies, post-war healing, and the enduring power of recognition and remembrance.
Endorsed by Eileen Nearne's family.
