The Woman with Two Shadows
Book Feature - The Woman with Two Shadows by Sarah James
HBL Note: I first heard about this book from Taylor Wolfe of The Daily Tay, an unlikely source for historical fiction book recommendations. Taylor is one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram (of those I’ve never met in real life.) She is known for hilarious Instagram Reels, her love of dogs, and being mom to Birdie. From what I can gather, Taylor and Sarah James, author of THE WOMAN WITH TWO SHADOWS, met doing comedy at Second City in Chicago, though neither one of them still live in the city.
THE WOMAN WITH TWO SHADOWS is Sarah James’ debut novel and is being compared to fan favorites such as Atomic City Girls and The Secrets We Kept. So if you’re looking for a new historical fiction author to love, look no further! Scroll down to read more about this novel.

From the publisher:
Lillian Kaufman hasn't heard from her twin sister since Eleanor left for a mysterious job at an Army base somewhere in Tennessee. When she learns, on an unexpected phone call, that Eleanor is missing, Lillian takes a train from New York down to Oak Ridge to clear up the matter.
It turns out that the only way into Oak Ridge is to assume Eleanor's identity, which Lillian plans to do swiftly and perfectly. But Eleanor has vanished without a trace―and she's not the only one. And how do you find someone in a town so dangerous it doesn't officially exist, when technically you don't exist either?
Lillian is thrust into the epicenter of the gravest scientific undertaking of all time, with no idea who she can trust. And the more she pretends to be Eleanor, the more she loses her grip on herself.
