Book Clubs at Christ Church

Non Fiction Book Club

We will meet on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 3:00 pm to discuss A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II by Sonia Purnell.  "In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: 'She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her."  

This spy was Virginia Hall, a young American woman--rejected from the foreign service because of her gender and her prosthetic leg--who talked her way into the spy organization deemed Churchill's "ministry of ungentlemanly warfare," and, before the United States had even entered the war, became the first woman to deploy to occupied France.  Told with Purnell's signature insight and novelistic flair, A Woman of No Importance is the breathtaking story of how one woman's fierce persistence helped win the war."
