Once again, Jenoff crafts fiction inspired by World War II, this time introducing us to war widow Grace Healy, who in 1946 finds a suitcase at New York's Grand Central terminal filled with photographs of women. Learning that the women were spies deployed out of London during the war and that 12 never returned home, Grace determines to uncover their stories. Jenoff's signature piece, The Orphan's Tale, has sold over 350,000 copies.

In 1946 New York, newly widowed legal secretary Grace Healy stumbles upon a suitcase labeled with the name Trigg containing a dozen photos of women with only first names and no other identifiers. She learns it belongs to Eleanor Trigg, an outsider with a painful past and the leader of a group of secret female agents sent from London into occupied Europe during the war. These young women, who posed as radio operators, were charged with sabotaging the Germans and arming the citizens. Grace feels a connection to Eleanor and the girls, yearning to discover why they never made it home, and creating an element of mystery to the story. She's especially drawn to single-mother Marie, who was sent to Paris and served in Trigg's Vesper circuit under the direction of roguishly handsome Julian. In the City of Light, passion and heartache greet the brave patriot. VERDICT Jenoff (The Orphan's Tale) seamlessly weaves the stories of three remarkable women in this fast-paced title that boasts an intriguing plot and strong female characters. Recommended for fans of Martha Hall Kelly's Lilac Girls and Kate Quinn's The Alice Network. [See Prepub Alert, 8/20/18.]--Laura Jones, Argos Community Schs., IN

AudioFile Magazine
Three narrators masterfully deliver the suspense and emotion of Jenoff's riveting story of real human drama during WWII. Jenoff's historical novel brings to light a group of heroic women who risked their lives as British OES agents in German-occupied Europe. Using a complex plot featuring many flashbacks, Jenoff focuses on three characters: Marie, narrated by Henrietta Meire, one of 12 young women trained as radio operators and spies who were dropped into Europe and ultimately disappeared; Eleanor, portrayed by Elizabeth Knowelden, who recruited and trained the group; and Grace, narrated by Candace Thaxton, whose discovery of an abandoned suitcase launches the search to discover the fates of those who didn't return. Each narrator provides distinctive accents that provide immediate character identification and guide listeners through scene and speaker changes. M.O.B. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
