The Lost Girls of Paris is a book that is intriguing as it is emotional. With the story being told from both during and after the war, it gives readers a look at the horrors of war and what sacrifices are made in order for one side to win over the other.
Grace is trying to build her life again after the war has taken the man that she loves. She works hard to help refugees and the displaced, but it seems to be a never-ending battle. When she ends up with a stranger's suitcase and a pile of women's photos, Grace does what she can to find out who these women are and why they are so important to the owner of the bag.
Eleanor is a serious woman who, during the war, is doing what she can to not only help the British win, but to also win something personal for herself--the ability to be a British citizen. Eleanor knows that women can do just as much as men for the war effort, so she heads up a division training women to be spies in France. What she contends with has much consequence for her division, herself, and the fate of the British war effort.
The book has a satisfying ending, though you may see it coming early in the story. If you like drama from WWII, this is certainly one that you won't want to miss.
