The Invisible Woman: A WWII Novel

By Erika Robuck

Book Overview

"An extraordinary profile of immense courage and daring."--Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Left Cuba

"If you only read one WWII book this year, make it this one."--Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Orphans

In the depths of war, she would defy the odds to help liberate a nation...a gripping historical novel based on the remarkable true story of World War II heroine Virginia Hall, from the bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl

France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore--she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst.

Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost.

While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what--and whom--she's truly protecting.

Another Easy Recommendation!

After reading this author's SISTERS OF NIGHT AND FOG, I thought I had pretty high expectations (they can't all be soaring reads), but I enjoyed this story more than I expected I would. The titular character is imperfect, not just in the ways we expect from raw and realistic representations of humans and their humanity, but also physically imperfect. I found this refreshing and intriguing. I also appreciated that the story did not ultimately become a love story wrapped in WWII history. The story and the characters stand on their own. JUST READ IT!!

Wonderful book. I have been rereading it. I recommend it.

This book is great. It is very absorbing and speaks to the courage, bravery and selflessness of people fighting for freedom.

Best book I’ve read in a long time!

This should be a required read for everyone! It was informative, gripping, heartbreaking, breathtaking, and lovely all at once! I couldn’t put it down, I read it in 4 hours!
