THE INVISIBLE WOMAN
Based on the remarkable true story of a woman who defied the odds to become the most dangerous Allied spy in France during WWII, comes a gripping historical novel about strength, humanity, and bravery from the bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl.
March 1944. Virginia Hall has never been like the other young women back home in Baltimore--she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded it all for Europe and grand adventure, and when her beloved second home was thrust into the dark days of war, she leapt in headfirst.
Subverting the Nazis becomes her calling, earning her a price on her head. But that doesn't stop her from carrying out her mission: to arm a network of French guerilla forces before D-Day arrives and to protect a region of secluded mountain villages harboring a precious secret. One that must remain hidden at all costs.
Virginia knows better than anyone that one of the greatest risks in war is trusting the wrong person. Every day she is haunted by the betrayal that rained hell on the brave men and women lost during her first mission. She's not sure she has the strength to do it all again, she just knows--with so many depending on her--that she must. Can she be enough?
Erika Robuck is the national bestselling author of The House of Hawthorne, Fallen Beauty, Call Me Zelda, Hemingway's Girl, and Receive Me Falling. She is a contributor to the fiction blog Writer Unboxed, and she maintains her own blog, Muse. She is a member of the Hawthorne Society, the Hemingway Society, the Historical Novel Society, and the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society.
