Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Lotta Dann was in trouble - her fun drinking habit had slowly morphed into an obsessive hunger for wine. One bottle a night was never quite enough. When she tried to cut down, she found it nearly impossible to have an alcohol-free day. Everyone around could see her drinking, but no one realised what a serious problem it was. She was high-functioning, fun-loving Lotta, not some messy, hopeless drunk. Only Lotta knew how sick and twisted her thinking about wine had become. Desperate and miserable, she was falling deeper and deeper into a boozy hellhole and running out of ideas about what she could do to stop it. What's a girl to do when her beloved wine becomes the enemy? Here's what Lotta did. She stopped drinking and secretly started a blog that charted the highs and lows of learning to live without alcohol. Mrs D was anonymous, honest and, as Lotta would discover, surrounded by people who would help her on her journey, and whom she could help in return.

She hid her codes on a piece of silk threaded through a shoelace and worn as a hair tie, bicycled across the countryside, and often slept rough while foraging for food. Over the course of her mission, she sent 135 secret messages that helped shape the Allied strategy leading up to D-Day. Her work continued until the liberation of Paris in August 1944. For decades, Pippa kept her wartime experiences secret?even from her family. Now, with the help of Jude Dobson, her story is told in full for the first time. The book has been praised for its vivid storytelling and emotional depth, offering a rare glimpse into the courage and sacrifice of a woman whose actions helped change the course of history.
