Summary
In an enthralling new historical novel from national best-selling author Kate Quinn, two women - a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947 - are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.
It's 1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family. She's also nursing a desperate hope that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie's parents banish her to Europe to have her "little problem" taken care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister.
It's 1915. A year into the Great War, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance when she's recruited to work as a spy. Sent into enemy-occupied France, she's trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the "Queen of Spies", who manages a vast network of secret agents right under the enemy's nose.
Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. Until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades and launches them both on a mission to find the truth...no matter where it leads.

I loved this book, it was a great story giving a small insight into woman involved in the resistance during the war.
It was beautifully preformed.

Glued!
I loved this book. I really enjoy historical fiction and this was just fantastic. The storyline was fabulous. Very clear on which part of the story you were on and the author brings the two storylines together brilliantly.
Had me in tears, in suspense, falling in love with the characters, and disappointed it ended.

Great story very moving
I found the American dialogue grating it didn’t add to the story. The Scottish and French accents were believable. A well researched and fast paced story line.

Captivating
An addictive tale of the strength of the resistance and women’s courage to endure and the lack of belief by men of their capabilities. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures painted by the author. A thoroughly good read.

Rich, Moving, engrossing
By far one of my favourite listens. A storyline that kept me guessing and hoping. Not always a comfortable listen but a rich mix of loss and hope.

Enthralling
It was like the nicest treat you could ever have. There was a temptation to gobble it up but I found myself savouring every word on every page not wanting the book to finish. I'll miss Charlie and Finn but Eve most of all. x

Gripping story of strong women
A brillant book and really well read. I liked how it was about two women and their relationship and also the past. It started slowly but after an hour I couldn't stop listening!
