The French Spymistress

PUBLISHED 2nd JULY 2026


1939: when World War Two breaks out, the courage of two women will be tested to the limit…

In Occupied France
Marie-Louise, a headstrong, single woman with two young children, is recruited into a secret intelligence network. She must collect privileged information about German military activities to help the Allies liberate her country. Her skill and daring will propel her to the top of the organisation – and along a path of hidden passion and extreme danger.

Deep in the English countryside
Sarah, a Sussex wife and mother, looks after evacuees and keeps the home fires burning while her husband is away on secret war work.  When she’s suddenly plucked from this life of humdrum duty to run a safe house for foreign agents, she is forced to make sacrifices that threaten her health, her family and her personal happiness.


As Marie-Louise and Sarah’s lives collide, their bravery comes to the forefront in this moving story about the resilience of the human spirit.
