The Flight Portfolio by Julie Orringer
In 1940 Marseille, an idealistic American lawyer and journalist organizes a clandestine rescue operation to smuggle endangered artists, writers and intellectuals out of Vichy France, and the narrative follows his ragged, morally fraught efforts alongside a resourceful American heiress and an art historian who become indispensable partners; through tense escapes, betrayals, bureaucratic obstruction and intimate sacrifices, the story examines courage, complicity and the cost of saving lives and cultural legacy under the shadow of war.
