Pam Jenoff's newest historical suspense is centered around three women in the last days of WWII. In 1944, Eleanor Trigg has been tasked by the British SOE to create a team of trained spies, all of whom are women. They will go into the field undercover and report back intelligence about the German soldiers occupying France. One of these spies is radio operator Marie Roux who is sent to a small village just outside Paris to work with a team who is sabotaging the movement of the German army in preparation for D Day. While in France something inside the operation goes horribly wrong as someone has sold out the spy network to the German army who has quickly begun making arrests in the region. Can Marie and her team outwit the German's and survive the betrayal? The third character is, Grace, and in 1946 in New York City she comes across a lost bag containing photographs from the war. She soon learns that the owner of the suitcase is Eleanor and one of the women in the photo's is Marie. While avoiding her own heartbreak, she becomes obsessed with finding out who these women were and what happened to these women.
I was very excited to get a copy of Jenoff's new novel since I was a fan of her previous work, The Orphan's Tale This is an enjoyable historical novel told from the perspective of the three main characters. The premise is loosely based on a real life team of women who had worked for the SOE in WWII. I would recommend this one because it is full of intrigue, romance and suspense and is an interesting story about a courageous group of women.
