Assignment in Brittany

The characters face tough choices that blur moral lines — I wonder what inspired her to explore these conflicts in a wartime setting.

The descriptions made the setting almost a character itself, creating a vivid backdrop for espionage. Was this intentional or did it evolve during the writing process?

The setting added layers of danger and intrigue, but I’m curious whether MacInnes had personal ties to the region or if it was purely a narrative choice.
