De
la autora best seller de El vagón de los huérfanos llega
una nueva novela basada en hechos reales de la Segunda Guerra
Mundial.
Creían que las mujeres no podían ser espías.
Estaban
equivocados.
Las chicas perdidas de París es una emotiva historia de amistad y
traición durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, inspirada en hechos reales, de la
autora best seller internacional Pam Jenoff.
1940: Con el mundo en guerra, Eleanor Trigg
lidera un misterioso grupo de agentes secretas femeninas en Londres. Doce de
estas mujeres son enviadas para ayudar a la Resistencia
francesa.
Nunca regresaron a casa.
1946: Al pasar por la Estación Central, en
Nueva York, Grace Healey encuentra una maleta abandonada escondida debajo de
un banco. La maleta contiene una docena de fotografías, cada una de una mujer
diferente.
En busca de las mujeres reales de las fotos, Grace se siente cada
vez más atraída por su misterioso destino. Y a medida que profundiza en los
secretos del pasado, descubre una historia de amistad, valentía impensable y,
en última instancia, de la más despreciable de las traiciones.
Pam Jenoff was born in Maryland and raised outside Philadelphia. Upon receiving her masters in history from Cambridge, she accepted an appointment as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Army. The position provided a unique opportunity to witness and participate in operations at the most senior levels of government, including helping the families of the Pan Am Flight 103 victims secure their memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, observing recovery efforts at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing and attending ceremonies to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of World War II at sites such as Bastogne and Corregidor.
Following her work at the Pentagon, Pam moved to the State Department. In 1996 she was assigned to the U.S. Consulate in Krakow, Poland. It was during this period that Pam developed her expertise in Polish-Jewish relations and the Holocaust. Working on matters such as preservation of Auschwitz and the restitution of Jewish property in Poland, Pam developed close relations with the surviving Jewish community.
Pam is the author of The Kommandant's Girl, which was an international bestseller and nominated for a Quill award, as well as The Winter Guest, The Diplomat's Wife, The Ambassador's Daughter, Almost Home, A Hidden Affair and The Things We Cherished. She also authored a short story in the anthology Grand Central: Original Postwar Stories of Love and Reunion. She lives outside Philadelphia with her husband and three children.
