`A woman can get more information about German supply lines and replacements than a man with a knife to a soldier's throat.' Germany, 1944 Best friends Viv Allen and Junie Knight are drawn into the covert world of America's Morale Operations Branch, a dark propaganda campaign designed to sow doubt among German soldiers. Their first mission sends them deep into enemy territory, but when the pursuit of a dangerous SS officer goes disastrously wrong, the fallout irreparably fractures their friendship. America, 1955 Now a housewife, Viv has spent years quietly waiting for a chance to make things right with Junie. When the opportunity at redemption arises, Viv finds herself caught between suburban life and international espionage. To save her friendship, she must confront her past and risk everything she holds close. - Readers are LOVING The League of Lonely War Women. 'Captivating . couldn't put it down' ★★★★★ 'Fascinating and compelling . transporting me to the past.' ★★★★★ 'I constantly needed to know what would happen next! . I finished the final pages with a smile on my face' ★★★★★ 'It moved fast, pulled me in early, and kept me fully invested until the very last delicious page. Buckle up, because you will not want to stop reading.' ★★★★★ 'Had me hooked, chilled me to the core . and had me rooting for her female protagonists' ★★★★★ 'The main plot is a page turner in itself, but for me it's the portrayal of female friendship and loyalty that makes this book such a great read' ★★★★★ 'Edge of the seat reading' ★★★★★ 'Within the crowded field of WWII fiction, Newton's novel distinguishes itself by foregrounding female intelligence work and professional ambition rather than battlefield heroics . an accessible, well-structured story that balances romance, rivalry and wartime peril with considerable narrative energy.'
