About this listen

In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling 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.

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.

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.

l absolutely love Kate Quinn's books and this is one of my favourites. l love her characters, her dialogue, the plot, the scenery - listening once will not be enough. l've lost count of the times I've read it, and it won't be long before l'm sneaking back in to listen again.

Brilliant.

I am so glad I listened to this story rather than just read it. kate Quinns narrative gives the book various tempos, to match the mood of the action, whilst the narration captures the stammering Eve and oily Renee in a way my mind could not. it made me want to follow Charlie's footsteps through France more than any travel book. I was also interested to read that Lilly really existed. I hope it is given the laurels it deserves.
