Sarah Rose

Sarah Rose (born 1974) is an author and journalist known for D-Day Girls and For All the Tea in China. Early life and education Rose was born in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, Harvard College, and the University of Chicago. She lives in New York. Books and television Rose's newest book, D-Day Girls, was published in April 2019 and debuted at #11 on the Indie Bestseller List and #6 on the Washington Post Paperback Bestseller List. It tells the story of women who were infiltrated into France ahead of D-Day to arm and train the French resistance by the secret British agency, SOE. Author Erik Larson called it, "Gripping...Spies, romance, Gestapo thugs, blown-up trains, courage, and treachery (lots of treachery) —and all of it true." Foreign Policy said, “D-Day Girls, written with novelistic detail, weaves together five women’s narratives using historical research from contemporary periodicals, archives, and interview records. . . [D-Day Girls is part of] a new library and a more robust approach to analyzing women’s essential role in war.” The Washington Post said, “Equal parts espionage-romance thriller and historical narrative, D-Day Girls traces the lives and secret activities of the 39 women who answered the call to infiltrate France. . . . While chronicling the James Bond-worthy missions and love affairs of these women, Rose vividly captures the broken landscape of war.”
