Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best seller

“Fraught with danger, filled with mystery, and meticulously researched, The Lost Girls of Paris is a fascinating tale of the hidden women who helped to win the war.” (Lisa Wingate, New York Times best-selling author of Before We Were Yours)

From the author of the runaway best seller The Orphan’s Tale comes a remarkable story of friendship and courage centered around three women and a ring of female secret agents during World War II.

1946, Manhattan

One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to work, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Unable to resist her own curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a dozen photographs - each of a different woman. In a moment of impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the station.

Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war. Twelve of these women were sent to Occupied Europe as couriers and radio operators to aid the resistance, but they never returned home, their fates a mystery. Setting out to learn the truth behind the women in the photographs, Grace finds herself drawn to a young mother turned agent named Marie, whose daring mission overseas reveals a remarkable story of friendship, valor, and betrayal.

Vividly rendered and inspired by true events, New York Times best-selling author Pam Jenoff shines a light on the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war and weaves a mesmerizing tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in the hardest of circumstances.

Great listen!

I loved this book! The plot was interesting and compelling. The readers were excellent. It was especially helpful that they had different readers since the chapters alternate between the first person commentary from the three main characters.

Wasn't of a complex of a story as I had hoped

If you are fan of the author, definitely read, but I won't be eager to recommend to my friends this book in particular

the lost girls of Paris

I enjoyed the book overall. It was a struggle in the beginning to hold my interest and keep reading but was able to finish it. The people such as the girls never received the credit they were due for the sacrifices made.

Show don't tell!

A bit too expository for my taste but the story itself is good! I just hate being told how a character is feeling at every turn.
This won't be on my list of top historical fiction.
