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.

Another solid historical fiction! I can’t say this is my favorite of Quinn’s books that I have read, but it still had all of the details and character development that I enjoy. No real thoughts, just a good story!
