I enjoyed it immensely. It was written very well and the story line was exceptional. I loved all of the main characters and read each chapter with baited breath. Grace finds an abandoned suitcase at Grand Central Terminal. Little does she know that the contents of the suitcase will change her life. She sets out to find the truth behind the photographs. She finds a story filled with deception, friendship and courage. A must read! Wow! Another great historical fiction novel by Pam Jenoff. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this book. The Lost Girls of Paris takes you inside the lives of young women who are placed as secret agents out in occupied Europe during WWII. These women, based on real-life women who were SOE's in WWII, put their lives in danger as they work as radio operators situated right in the guts of the war. The story is told in two timelines: 1944 and 1946 when a suitcase with mysterious photos of women is found after the war ends, which gives us a glimpse into life right after the war. I'm so impressed by the research done on this book and highly recommend it to readers of HF who love stories about strong women! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
