Overview: When Major Charles Addison — alias Charles Bertin, watch-maker — rode his bicycle along a poplar-lined road in occupied France in 1944, he saw like signal flags a string of feminine undergarments on a clothes line. The area, by order of Field-Marshal Rommel, was one from which all civilians had in theory been evacuated. The house which flew these revealing pennants was the Villa Mimosa, an establishment whose existence was to arouse the greatest interest among the Chiefs of Staff in London. A daring and impudent plan was devised and given the appropriate name of ‘Operation Sabine’. In his true identity, Major Addison returned dangerously to the Villa to snatch away the ladies and their regular visitors and convey them to England. The contribution made to final victory by Lucille, Elsa, Magda, Monique and Golden Mouse was greater than any of them knew. For, under the discreet roof of the Villa Mimosa, deadly political conspiracy had long been combined with wine, women and song.
Villa Mimosa is a breath-taking piece of literary fiction set during the epic struggle that was World War Two.
