Having Read Pam Jenoff’s, The Orphan’s Tale, I was excited to receive her new book The Lost Girls in Paris. I was not familiar with the role of woman as SOE operatives in France during WW II. This remarkable tale of historical fiction is told through the stories of three women. Eleanor was selected to head this department of the SOE. She selected women to be trained as radio operators who were embedded in France. Marie is one of the operators who was selected. Finally, Grace, living in New York in 1946, discovers pictures in a suitcase in Grand Central Station. She is determined to find out who the women in the picture are and their stories.
This book alternates time periods between 1943 and 1946 through the eyes of the three characters. This is a remarkable story of courage, determination, and resilience.
