Description

How did a young Parisienne mother, celebrated for her beauty and glamour, come to lead the largest spy network in France? A powerful, heartbreaking historical novel by the New York Times bestselling author.


Australian novelist Natasha Lester passionately brings to life the true story of one of history’s unsung heroes:
Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the only woman to lead a resistance network in WWII France. Her story is one of epic love, tragic loss and magnificent leadership.

Natasha Lester is the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Seamstress, The French Photographer, The Paris Secret and The Riviera House.
