Based on a real spy ring during WWI and on life shortly after WWII in France, the story shows life of women as spies. There is violence in this story, unbelievable heartache. It is a great story, but not light reading. I listened to the audio version which was excellent.

I was not expecting to so throughly enjoy this book! Badass women spies, badass women defying social convention. The dual timelines wove together beautifully, there was just enough truth in the fiction to keep me interested, and I appreciated that most of the characters were “fallen” people by society’s standards. Absolutely would read another book by Kate Quinn or on this subject.
