Dragonfly by Leila Meacham

This is the year of the unsung heroes of WWII. As in her previous historical books, Leila Meacham has presented an epic novel with unlikely heroes who risked everything by leaving the safety of America and living in occupied Paris. Three men and two women with nothing in common, no real ties to people back home and no military training are thrust into Paris by the OSS with instructions to obtain information about the Nazi movement in the city. This is a hefty novel but a quick read and you will find yourself drawn to these likable characters from diverse backgrounds as well as the heroic deeds of those in Paris. Fans of her other books and those readers of all things WWII will want to add this to their summer reading pile.
