The first thing that grabbed my attention was the title and the cover. The premise sounded absolutely riveting and unlike other historical fiction novels I’ve read. Pam Jenoff has an ability to grab the reader from the very beginning. Her description of Grand Central Station made you feel as if you were there alongside Grace. It all started with a momentary decision which makes the reader wonder what they would do in Grace’s shoes. After discovering the pictures of the 12 women, it leaves the reader wanting to know more and reading to find what happens next. This is at the top of Historical Fiction novels I’ve read. It is a must read for the genre and especially combined with a backstory involving a spy ring. Highly recommended.
