I've read very nearly every book by Pam Jenoff, and The Lost Girls of Paris seems to be far and away her best book yet. She's taken her signature style of focusing on the role of women in different aspects of World War II, and this time highlighted some particularly brave and unique women- those serving as spies in occupied France. Readers are offered three perspectives- that of Grace, living in New York shortly after the war, who stumbles upon a suitcase containing some photos that she feels tell a story; Eleanor, charged with creating and managing a team of women sent as spies, and Marie, one of the women recruited and sent to France. There is fear and tension simmering through this book- the organization Eleanor creates is established due to the rapid pace at which men in the field have been killed or arrested- and the stakes are truly life and death. Jenoff has written three women who are distinct and interesting, and the story is fascinating and heartbreaking. Both fans of Jenoff's previous books and those who were drawn by the tension of stories such as Kate Quinn's The Alice Network will be scooping this one up.
