Engrossing!
Inspired by true events, Pam Jenoff pulls you through an emotionally tense and heartbreaking tale of the largely unknown and heroic actions of the female secret agents deployed across Occupied Europe. Jenoff manages to not only give vibrant detail to the training, preparation and danger of these chosen few, but also draws from the other side of the war, those women left behind in the United States who lost men as well. It is one such grieving woman who happens upon a suitcase filled with pictures of women and very little else after it's owner is killed in a car accident outside of Central Station. Grace Healey's curiosity becomes an obsession and welcome distraction from her loss, her husband killed before even leaving the country in a car accident himself. Through connections in New York and Washington, she boldly pushes to learn more about who these women were and what their fate came to be. Incredibly difficult to put down, this book will touch you as a woman, a mother, and as a patriot, no matter the country.
