Sobre este áudio
How did a young Parisian mother, celebrated for her beauty and glamour, come to lead the largest spy network in occupied France?
Morocco, 1928. Marie-Madeleine Méric is not the kind of woman who stays quietly at her husband’s side. Polyglot, pianist, and pilot, she is a woman of many skills, with unconventional interests—like driving in car rallies—that earn her a daredevil reputation. But dabbling in intelligence work to assist her military officer husband and the French government helps her recognize who she is at heart: an adventurer.
Paris, 1936. As Europe teeters on the brink of war, Marie-Madeleine is living in France, her marriage now in shambles, when a chance encounter with an enigmatic spy turns her life upside down. He recruits her to help build a resistance network, and she conceals her identity—and gender—as she navigates a perilous double life.
Eventually, she steps into the role of leader of what is now known as Alliance, despite the naysayers who doubt in a woman’s ability to do so. Capture and death are only a heartbeat away for both Marie-Madeleine and the agents under her care. At the helm of Alliance, she achieves seemingly impossible feats of espionage that help turn the tide of the war. But the most impossible, and dangerous, feat of them all? Falling in love.
New York Times bestselling author Natasha Lester beautifully brings Marie-Madeleine Méric Fourcade’s story to life in this powerful, heartbreaking tale of resilience that reminds us what it means to cherish those we love and fight for them with every breath.

“A passionate, fiery tribute to a historical woman so extraordinary she almost defies belief . . . Lester writes with razor-sharp research and evident admiration for a woman whose name deserves to be blazed across the pages of history.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Briar Club
“The Mademoiselle Alliance details the extraordinary efforts of Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, a woman of incredible strength and determination who commanded thousands in one of the most effective networks in the French Resistance. Natasha Lester brings Marie-Madeleine to life, as a resistance fighter, as a woman in a world where men underestimate her, and as a mother. Written with heart, passion, and impeccable historical research, The Mademoiselle Alliance is a powerful story readers will not be able to put down.”—Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London
“Marie-Madeleine Fourcade is the ultimate survivor—she escapes an abusive marriage and evades the Nazis again and again in her work as a spy for the Resistance. Deeply researched and gorgeously written, The Mademoiselle Alliance is a testament the strength of a remarkable, globetrotting woman willing to make unimaginably hard decisions in the service of family and country.”—Kerri Maher, bestselling author of The Paris Bookseller
