Girl in the Ashes is a historical fiction novel based in Paris during World War 2. The novel circulates between the lives, both past and present, of three women: Odette, Ilse, and Agnes. The lives of these women share commonalities, as well as obvious differences as you get to know each character and their motivations, both before the war and during. Odette, a nurse, is driven by Death after the brutal murder of her mother at a young age. She takes it upon herself to kill the men who wrong women and children.
