Three women. One daring mission. 1946. One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Inside is a dozen photographs—each of a different woman. Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents 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. 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 mission overseas reveals a remarkable story of friendship, valor and betrayal. In this riveting story inspired by true events, Pam Jenoff weaves a tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in the hardest of circumstances. Don’t miss Pam Jenoff’s new novel, Last Twilight in Paris , a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about love and survival .

It satisfied my appetite for books on covert and espionage activities during World War II. An added treat was the audio. Along with the script, the audio brought to life the characters with different tones of voices, accents and inflections. This is my first time reading Pam Jenoff; it certainly won’t be my last. She has an engaging style, a smooth and easy flow of captivating prose. Once I started to read her book, it took a great effort to stop to do chores and keep appointments. She is such an excellent story teller. She connects easily and effortlessly with her readers’ imagination. Graphic scenes after scenes glide smoothly and continuously. It’s like watching an interactive movie. One time I’m a ringside spectator to events; at another I’m the voice that is narrating. There were times when I felt as if I was the voice in the head of the characters judging or evaluating their actions. Jenoff’s book presents an interesting prelude. The “instigator” by chance came upon photos of several girls. Intense curiosity and unrelenting persistency opened up a window which unveiled the exploits of these girls. They were involved in extremely dangerous covert activities in France directed by the British during World War II. The discovery of the photos initiated two parallel narratives with a common quest:a search for what happened to the Lost Girls. The first narrative occurs a few years after the events; the second in real time. However, the narratives are like two independent clauses of a sentence. They each can stand alone, but are linked by a common goal. The author allows us into the minds of two protagonist, each grappling with different facts and under different circumstances. The first protagonist is propelled by pure curiosity to uncover the truth about the fate of the girls. There is little to go on, just the haunting photos. But in the second narrative the other protagonist is troubled by mounting evidence that something is awry. Unfortunately, she is blocked by higher authorities to search for the truth. Consequently, victims point to her as their betrayer. The Lost Girls of Paris is a book that captures real life experiences of loyalty, bravery, friendship, and love. It also includes the darker side of humanity:brutality, hate and betrayal. In this book it is women who are prominently described with such experiences. Rightfully so, because women’s role in the two world wars is marginalized. Why is this so? Because it’s a reflection of male dominated societies around the globe. This book is a much needed correction to this. “...the notion of a woman holding a job...” should sensitize readers to bias against females that still exist today. I had a sense of history repeating itself when reading comments implying that women should stay home. In the second narrative we get a broader view of the social problem: “Getting hired had been an uphill battle:she was not just a woman, but a Polish national—and a Jew”. The underlying purpose of The Lost Girl of Paris is not to minimize the advancements made to date in gender equality. But rather to give historical context to the struggles women face. It shows that the attitudes behind their impediment to achieve equality still lingers. Pam Jenoff has done a magnificent job in memorializing the heroic role played by women in World War II. Their contributions to the war efforts deserve to be known and remembered. Review: Women with guts who SPY!! - Interesting book about girls who volunteer for dangerous mission into France to spy for the Brits. The story begins with a suitcase being deserted In Grand Central Station that is found and opened by a woman. The contents of the suitcase starts the woman on a journey to solve the mystery of events of WWII that had not yet come to light. It was always interesting and often exciting. It was based on a true story that enhances the excitement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #49,989 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #16 in Jewish American Fiction #84 in Jewish Literature & Fiction #90 in Jewish Literature (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Lost Girls of Paris: A Novel – A NYT Bestseller WWII Historical Fiction Story of Courage and Secrets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BYi1w040L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quest *by A***N on September 22, 2020* Reading The Lost Girls of Paris was a treat.

Kudos to Pam Jenoff for her amazing well written novel that vividly describes the characters and landscape in the story. I appreciate the historical research that went into this story. The Genres for this story are Historical Fiction, inspired by true events, Partial Fiction, Suspense and Espionage. The time-table for this story is 1946, and just during the war and after the war. The author describes her dramatic and colorful cast of characters as complex and complicated. It is just after the war, and Grace Healey, now a widow has come to live in New York, while dealing with her loss. A tragic car accident forces her to go through Grand Central to get to work. She trips over a suitcase. Grace sees a name on the outside, and curiosity gets the best of her, and she opens it up. She cuts her hand on something and sees that it is an envelope with pictures that are in lace. They are young women , some dressed in uniforms. Grace tries to see if someone is looking for a suitcase or pictures. Short on time, Grace puts the pictures in her pocket-book and heads for work. Grace learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg, the leader of recruited females in England used as spies that were sent to France during the war. Twelve of the women disappeared and never came home. Grace, with the help of her deceased husband’s friend start to look for more information. In the pictures are young women named Marie and Josie, amongst others. They were a group of women operatives working for Britain’s Special Operations during the war, stopping and sabotaging efforts of the German as much as they could. It was extremely dangerous, and could mean these young women’s death. Some handled the radios transmitting information, and others blended into the French countryside getting information. Some would blow up things to stop the Germans. It seems that these women had a friendship and sisterhood that kept them going. They were brave and courageous. Unfortunately their positions were compromised by betrayal from possibly someone in London. Why are these girls missing? Grace wants answers as to who, what and why this happened. This novel has twists, and turns. There is danger, murder, betrayals, and heart-break. This is an intense and edgy novel that I would highly recommend for those readers who enjoy a thought-provoking novel. I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review. 6 likes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/99567704-the-lost-girls-of-paris-a-novel-a-nyt-bestseller](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/99567704-the-lost-girls-of-paris-a-novel-a-nyt-bestseller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
