The Lost Girls of Paris is a historical fiction about the SOE; a British intelligence group of female operatives who, through unthinkable circumstances of betrayal by their own, nearly all do not survive to come home.

The question I ask myself while reading this book, written about a subject I love, WW2, women, and their fight to make a difference in a male dominant world, is why didn't this book resonate better for me; the simple answer is depth. I wanted more mire and muck, gut-wrenching, heart-stopping, fear-inducing depth. The Lost Girls did not have that for me, yet it seemed teed up to give it.

The second question I ask myself: When did I become such a cynic?

This is a marvelously written book with beautiful characters and believable settings (it is fictitious, after all), and I did enjoy the book. I would be remiss if I gave it anything less than the most stars available, although I would bump it down if there were a half. It was a home run but fell short of a grand slam.

I will read another of Ms. Jenoff's books, and she deserves your try as well - the book is worth it. ( )

This was the first book that I've read by Pam Jenoff. 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! ( )

If not for the second-worst mistake of Grace Healey's life, she never would have found the suitcase.
