Absolutely loved this book! Historical fiction, particularly Civil War/WWI/WWII are my favorite reads.
I enjoyed reading from the points of view of Eleanor, Marie, and Grace. Grace, recently widowed is living in NYC 1946 and one day finds a suitcase at Grand Central Station. In it she finds personal effects, including some photos that intrigue her. She soon learns the case belonged to Eleanor Trigg.
The book flashes back to Eleanor's time in Britain's SOE (Special Operations Executive). She starts as a secretary and ends up in charge of the SOE's experimental division of female spies. She oversees the choosing and hiring of the individual women.
The book continues to follow one of these brave young women, Marie, as she goes through training and is eventually deployed to begin missions.
Based loosely on true events, this book kept me reading until well into the night. Highly recommend if you like books such as Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Kate Quinn's The Alice Network.
