—Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Secret
“A beautiful homage to the strength and resilience of women spies during the Second World War, Christine Wells’s Sisters of the Resistance is that rare jewel of a World War II novel that surprises as much as it delights.”
—Bryn Turnbull, author of The Woman Before Wallis
“Full of spies and harrowing near misses, Christine Wells’s Sisters of the Resistance shifts effortlessly between the desperation of the final months of World War II and the glamor of Dior’s postwar collection in this page-turner of a tale. Based on Catherine Dior’s real-life resistance movement, this is a powerful story of the impact women have had on history.”
—Stephanie Marie Thornton, USA Today bestselling author of And They Called It Camelot
“Brimming with danger, adventure, and Dior, Sisters of the Resistance kept me guessing to the end. This story of two sisters working for the French Resistance beautifully explores the vast gray area between right and wrong, love and hate—no one gets off easily, and no triumph is without cost. A deeply affecting read.”
—Kerri Maher, author of The Girl in White Gloves
“Sisters of the Resistance has it all! A richly researched historical novel filled with the glamor of the 1940s fashion world and page-turning suspense and romance, all wrapped around a cast of courageous and unforgettable women. The sisters at the heart of this novel, Gabby and Yvette, could not be more different, and yet they both risk their lives working for Catherine Dior’s resistance network in Paris during World War II. I was under the spell of this novel from page one!”
—Renée Rosen, bestselling author of Park Avenue Summer
“Beautiful and compelling, Christine Wells’s Sisters of the Resistance skillfully weaves a story of ordinary women rising against the Nazis in the harrowing final days of World War II Paris, and the complex legacy of their choices. This tale of Catherine Dior’s women spies is as inspiring as it is thought provoking. Full of nuanced characters, remarkable bravery, and surprises, the pages of this novel all but turn themselves. A must-read!”
—Kristin Beck, author of Courage, My Love
“Sisters of the Resistance is a breathless roller coaster of love, suspense, and danger—all spiced with the timeless glamor of the launch of Christian Dior’s New Look. This story of two courageous sisters caught up in the perilous vicissitudes of war and passion in a vividly imagined Nazi-occupied Paris will have you turning the pages at light speed!”
—Anna Campbell, award-winning author
