It is September 1944; Jamie Cameron is a young British army officer trapped behind enemy lines at Arnhem in the Netherlands, having been blown off course after parachuting in to take the bridge with other airborne units. Forced to hide in a cupboard as the Waffen SS attempt to wipe out his unit, he then has to make some hard decisions as to how best to evade the enemy in order to return to Allied lines. The problem is that only female attire is in the house in which he is hiding.
However, Jamie himself unwittingly holds a secret of which even he is unaware, which may help, or hinder, his plans.
Jamie ventures into a harsh world controlled by the SS, who are being forced to retreat as the Allies press inexorably towards the Fatherland. Initially his disguise holds, but one young disillusioned German officer begins to take a particular interest in the young displaced foreign ‘girl’.
Having a knowledge of German, and being able to speak fluent French, courtesy of his grandmother, he poses as a French girl, Janine Chavanay. Jamie struggles to work as an interpreter for the SS, and even has to assist the documentation of British soldiers from his old unit. Fearful of exposure, his already complex life is further complicated when the German Officer falls in love with ‘Janine’.
As Janine’s body changes to come closer into line with her adopted gender, Janine ceases to see herself as Jamie, as a male, or really as British. All the edges become blurred as she struggles to deal with her personal difficulties and the small matter of the Second World War. Pitched to fend for herself by the retreating Germans, she faces an even greater task, to return to the Allied lines and meet her father. Will he come to terms with the loss of a son and the gain of a daughter?
It doesn’t help that he is Major General William Cameron.
FORTUNE'S SOLDIER eBook Tanya Allan
Once again the author is in need of a copy editor. The attempts to use German language dialogue is pathetic. For example "Der ist Sie?" which should be "Wer sind Sie"? What she wrote means "the is you".German POWs were not released at the end of the war. They became slave labor for rebuilding France and other occupied countries and not sent home for several years. At the end of the war, Eisenhower declared that since we were no longer at war Red Cross parcels should cease.
The plot tries to be unique but is so only at the expense of reality.

FORTUNE'S SOLDIER eBook Tanya Allan Reviews
Unique telling of a compelling story. That's All I Read http//kitmossreviews.blogspot.com
AWESOME STORYLINE, KEEPS YOU READING
Loved this book.
I have yet to find a book I dislike that Tanya has wrote. This book takes place at the end of ww2. Though it's not the magical transformation I usually favor. The story line is amazing A young soldier that is born with abnormalities and labled a boy finds out the truth as he lands in some pretty surreal situations. Not a dull moment in this book. Absolutly loved it.
