Each week I share a book that has landed on my TBR and this week it’s a work of non-fiction called The Art Spy by Michelle Young.

From the publisher:

Based on troves of previously undiscovered documents, The Art Spy chronicles the brave actions of the key Resistance spy in the heart of the Nazi’s art looting headquarters in the French capital. A veritable female Monuments Man, Valland has, until now, been written out of the annals, despite bearing witness to history’s largest art theft. While Hitler was amassing stolen art for his future Führermuseum, Valland, his undercover adversary, secretly worked to stop him.

I’m a big fan of The Art Forger, The Art Thief, and WWII historical fiction, so I knew this book was right up my alley when I first heard about it! It was published in May 2025.
