The Girl Who Fell from the Sky (UK edition, released by Little, Brown and Company) or Trapeze (US edition, published by Other Press) is a historical fiction work authored by Simon Mawer in 2012. The narrative follows a young woman during World War II whose proficiency in French and boldness lead to her recruitment by the Special Operations Executive. She undertakes missions as an operative within occupied Europe before reaching her twentieth birthday. The title was altered for the American market to prevent confusion with a 2010 novel authored by Heidi W. Durrow.
In June 2012, Mawer appeared on The Diane Rehm Show to discuss this novel.
