Per mesi tra i bestseller del New York Times Noa ha sedici anni ed è stata cacciata di casa quando i genitori hanno scoperto che è rimasta incinta dopo una notte passata con un soldato nazista. Rifugiatasi in una struttura per ragazze madri, viene però costretta a rinunciare al figlio appena nato. Sola e senza mezzi trova ospitalità in una piccola stazione ferroviaria, dove lavora come inserviente per guadagnarsi da vivere. Un giorno Noa scopre un carro merci dove sono stipate decine di bambini ebrei destinati a un campo di concentramento e non può fare a meno di ricordare suo figlio. È un attimo che cambierà il corso della sua vita: senza pensare alle conseguenze di quel gesto, prende uno dei neonati e fugge nella notte fredda. Dopo ore di cammino in mezzo ai boschi Noa e il piccolo, stremati, vengono accolti in un circo tedesco, ma potranno rimanere a una condizione: Noa dovrà imparare a volteggiare sul trapezio, sotto la guida della misteriosa Astrid. In alto, sopra la folla, Noa e Astrid dovranno imparare a fidarsi l’una dell’altra, a costo della loro stessa vita.

1946, Manhattan: Grace Healey egy hétköznap reggel munkába igyekezvén átvág a New York-i Grand Central pályaudvar nagycsarnokán, és belebotlik egy gazdátlan bőröndbe. Kíváncsiságtól hajtva belekukkant, és egy borítéknyi fényképet talál benne. A tucatnyi női portré annyira megragadja, hogy a csomagot zsebre vágva sietve visszatuszkolja a bőröndöt a pad alá, és már szalad is a dolgára. Hamarosan megtudja, hogy a bőrönd tulajdonosa Eleanor Trigg volt, aki a második világháború alatt az angol titkosszolgálatnál női ügynökök hálózatát szervezte. Az ügynöknőket a megszállt Európában vetették be futárként és rádiósként, közülük azonban tizenketten soha nem tértek haza, sorsukat homály fedi. Grace megpróbálja felgöngyölíteni ezeknek a nőknek a történetét. Nyomozása egy Marie nevű ifjú anyához vezet, aki veszélyes franciaországi küldetése során a barátság, hűség és árulás útvesztőjében maga is kis híján odaveszett. Pam Jenoff regénye a második világháborúban tevékenykedő női titkos ügynökök köreibe repíti az olvasót. A valós eseményekre épülő történetben feltárul előttünk ezeknek a merész és hősies nőknek a háborúban betöltött fontos szerepe, miközben a szerző magával ragadóan mesél bátorságról, testvériségről és a legnagyobb vészben tanúsított túlélő erőről is.
