An epic saga from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women bound by its legacy. Most castles are protected by men. This one, by women. A founding mother… 1774. Adrienne Lafayette, as defiant as her hero husband, the marquis de Lafayette, will face the threat of the guillotine and make a fateful decision that will inspire generations to come. A daring visionary… 1914. Beatrice Chanler is an indomitable socialite with a secret identity who risks everything to change America's destiny and save people a world away. A reluctant resistor… 1940. Marthe Simone, a French schoolteacher and aspiring artist, simply wants to survive Nazi occupation, until a shocking discovery calls into question who she is and who she's willing to become. Intricately woven and powerfully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we take from those who came before us.

It's a story about survival and how three women somehow make it through tragedy to ensure a better world for future generations. Cosmopolitan
"This is a wildly impressive novel with characters who fly off the page. The Women of Chateau Lafayette unflinchingly describes the toll that war and the fight for democracy takes on us all. And perhaps more poignantly, it reminds us that we are forever connected to our past." The Jewish Journal
What blew me away was not [the women s] strength I ve read more than enough novels and seen enough of the world to know how strong women are but how distinct they are. They aren t just any three women; Stephanie Dray has breathed life into her protagonists I loved sinking into this book, and anyone who enjoys historical fiction will as well. Manhattan Book Review
"Stephanie Dray's latest is a masterpiece, braiding three stories into a single tale of courage, humanity, and women triumphing in the face of overwhelming odds. Three heroines with seemingly nothing in common a French Revolution Founding Mother struggling to preserve her family, a World War I socialite turned passionate activist, and a World War II orphan pulled into the French Resistance turn out to have everything in common as they struggle through the chaos of three separate wars to forge a united legacy. The Women of Chateau Lafayette is destined to soar!"
Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network
Vividly told and compelling. The stories of these three splendid women intertwine beautifully into a heart-stopping tale.
Frances Liardet, New York Times bestselling author of We Must Be Brave
"If it's the details that bring historical fiction alive, Stephanie Dray has not only painted the most vivid world imaginable, but she has quite nearly created a veritable time machine to the past. The Women of Chateau Lafayette shines with her incredibly meticulous research, and against that masterfully built backdrop, she has placed three extraordinary women, each fighting her own battle in a different war, whose lives are connected in ways that will make your heart soar. You'll be mesmerized by this sprawling, epic, masterful tale of love, heartbreak, strength, and duty, all set across a century and a half of riveting French and American history. The fascinating Author s Note at the end is the final dusting of sugar on this complex, unforgettable French treat."
Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names
"Just dazzling! Three women, three wars, one French chateau and a whole lot of heroism: The Women of Chateau Lafayette is quite simply breathtaking in its scope and accomplishment. Prepare to be swept away to France and beyond by a master storyteller.

Renee Rosen, bestselling author of The Social Graces
"A rich and immersive deep dive into three tumultuous eras in French history via the lives of three remarkable women. Despite the strictures of their times and the hardships they face, Stephanie Dray's women of Chateau Lafayette-- the aristocrat, the artist, the orphan-- are testament to the power of the individual to take a stand and shape the course of history. Warning: you'll want desperately to know how it all turns out while wanting just as desperately for none of their stories to end.... And you'll catch yourself thinking about all three women long after the book has been closed."
