Produced by Steven desJardins and Distributed Proofreaders "Somewhere in France" by Richard Harding Davis is a novel set during World War I, written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Marie Gessler, a complex character who initially appears to be a German agent but carries with her a detailed and intriguing backstory involving deceit, espionage, and self-preservation. Her journey takes her from being dismissed from her nursing position in Berlin due to scandals to assuming a new identity as a spy amidst the war's chaos, where she navigates love and betrayal while leveraging her charm in the perilous world of military intrigue. The opening of the narrative introduces Marie Gessler, revealing her tumultuous past and her cunning transformation from a dismissed nurse into a spy for Germany. After stealing critical blue-prints that could turn the tide of war, she finds herself embroiled in a web of political gamesmanship, which tragically impacts the lives of those around her, notably Captain Henri Ravignac. As tensions rise and the war unfolds, Marie’s fate intertwines with that of her lover and other key figures as she maneuvers through her dual identity—juggling the demands of espionage while dealing with the emotional consequences of her actions. Ultimately, her decisions lead to profound repercussions, not just for herself but for the victims of her manipulations, setting the stage for a story rich in conflict and moral ambiguity.
