The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff follows three women: Eleanor Trigg, the leader of a secret group of female operatives during World War II; Marie, one of Eleanor's agents who left her daughter behind to help the mission; and Grace, an American woman who stumbles across a mysterious suitcase after the war that includes pictures of 12 girls.

As the novel alternates between the three women, we learn more about Eleanor's operation, Marie's work and Grace's question to discover who these women are and what happened. At times, it was difficult to line up the timelines of Eleanor and Marie leading to minor confusion. Overall, I loved the way the story unfolded and it told a beautiful story of the bravery and resilience displayed by all three women in the face of incredible circumstances.
