To be, or not to be: That is the question.

Kiran Matek is a young Moroccan woman amid the second world war. Living in the USA was no longer an option, she needed to get to England and that quick. It seemed the only thing to do was lie, lie about her age, lie about her ethnicity and lie about her sex.

Ending up with the likes of easy company was a blessing in disguise. Falling in love was a shock and acceptance was a laughable thought in desperate times. But life does have a way of playing tricks on people.

This book is based on the hbo series and is not in any way meant to dishonour the participants of the brutal war.
