THE LOST GIRLS OF PARIS
Pam Jenoff

Reviewed by Magdalena Johansson

Women's Fiction Historical

THE LOST GIRLS OF PARIS is a book about sacrifices, courage, friendship, and about moving on.

1946 - Grace Healey is living in Manhattan and is trying to live a life without her husband who died during the war. While passing through Grand Central Terminal one morning, she finds a suitcase with some photographs that she in a moment of impulse snatches. Later on, she learns that the suitcase belongs to Eleanor Trigg, who was the leader of a ring of female secret agents during the war. Among the spies was there a young mother, Marie, who was sent to France to help the resistance.

We get to know three different women in THE LOST GIRLS OF PARIS. Through these different points of view, a complete story is told: how Eleanor worked to create this spy ring, the recruitment of Marie and her mission in France, and finally, Grace who discovers these photos and wants to investigate what really happened...

I found Eleanor's point of view and story to be the strongest part of this book. I found it hard to connect to the other two women. Eleanor had been through so much and worked so hard; her story really made an impression on me. I had a harder time enjoying Marie's story because of her timid demeanor and the contrived love story - two people who hardly interact suddenly falling in love was a little farfetched. Grace was somewhere between the other two for me. Her storyline was interesting, but as a character, she didn't reach Eleanor's level. Overall, this was a decent historical fiction novel.

SUMMARY

Pam Jenoff’s breakout novel The Orphan’s Tale was an instant New York Times bestseller and has now sold over 350,000 copies and counting! Following up on this incredible success is a remarkable story of friendship and courage centered around three women and a ring of female spies during World War II. Based on true events, this is perfect for fans of The Alice Network and Lilac Girls. 1946, Manhattan. Grace Healy is rebuilding her life after losing her husband during the war. One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to work, she 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 ring 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 bestselling author Pam Jenoff shines the 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.
