Sonia Purnell

Author

Sonia Purnell is a British journalist, biographer, and author whose biographies of extraordinary women have won critical acclaim. She has worked for the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Mail. Agent Most Wanted tells the story of Virginia Hall, the most wanted Allied spy of the Second World War — an American woman with a... prosthetic leg who ran resistance networks in occupied France and became one of the most effective intelligence operatives in history. Purnell's earlier biography A Woman of No Importance covered the same subject for adults. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers gripping, meticulously researched true stories of extraordinary women whose courage changed the course of history. Read more Show less
