Jude Dobson chats about The Last Secret Agent book she's been working onJude has been working on the most fascinating true story, bringing the life of Pippa Latour onto the page.
Pippa was a normal Auckland-based mum-of-four, who never told her family she had an unbelievable secret… she was a secret agent. During WWII she was recruited to go undercover in Nazi-occupied France, disguised as a 14-year-old schoolgirl, selling soap from her bicycle to Nazi soldiers. She was actually 23-years-old, and a highly skilled, trained special operations executive who could speak multiple languages. She parachuted into France in the crucial weeks leading up to D-Day (as the male wireless operators kept getting caught and executed).
