Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Buzzfeed · Bookbub · BookTrib · and more!Two women, two countries. Nothing in common but a call to fight.A heart-stopping new novel based on the extraordinary true stories of an American socialite and a British secret agent whose stunning acts of courage collide in the darkest hours of World War II. 1940. In a world newly burning with war, and in spite of her American family’s wishes, Virginia d’Albert-Lake decides to stay in occupied France with her French husband. She’s sure that if they keep their heads down, they’ll survive. But is surviving enough? Nineteen-year-old Violette Szabo has seen the Nazis’ evil up close and is desperate to fight them. But when she meets the man who’ll change her life only for tragedy to strike, Violette’s adrift. Until she enters the radar of Britain’s secret war organization—the Special Operations Executive—and a new fire is lit in her as she decides just how much she’s willing to risk to enlist. As Virginia and Violette navigate resistance, their clandestine deeds come to a staggering halt when they are brought together at Ravensbrück concentration camp. The decisions they make will change their lives, and the world, forever.

"Good, but confusing. I thought the Virginia in this book was the same Virginia from her first book. Not the same Virginia. It took me a third.of the book to realize this. I liked listening to this book for the French names and terms but hated listening to it for the POV of two characters AND time period jumps. I liked The Invisible Woman, her first novel better but I liked this one. Reccomended to people who like historical fiction which takes place in WWII."
