Real-life Charlotte Gray

“The exploits of Nancy Wake, who fought with the French Resistance, make the plot of the film Charlotte Gray look tame.” A new biography of NZ-born Wake by Peter Fitzsimons celebrates the life of the woman who ate caviar and Germans for breakfast. Dubbed “The White Mouse” by the Gestapo, Wake evaded capture for the duration of the war and now resides in London. See the fascinating NZEDGE hero story on Wake.
