Legends of the Lost Lilies. Jackie French. 2021.

A mysterious telegram that says, ‘Lily needs you’ arrives just before a plane from war-ravaged England lands in one of Sophie Greenman’s paddocks.

Sophie, Countess of Shillings, has been living a quiet life on her property in Australia, until love and loyalty draw her back to England where she once trained to become one of Miss Lily’s ‘Lovely Ladies’. Now, in 1942, Shillings Hall trains women to become espionage agents.

Sophie’s mission? To seek out disaffected German officers prepared to kill Hitler.

Across Europe, women like Sophie - Parisian couturier, Violette, and Hannelore, German Prinzessin and spy - must determine where their deepest loyalty lies. And as Europe slowly disintegrates, Miss Lily must also decide her final fate.
