About this listen

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.

All in all, I really liked this book. The only fault I can find is that the central figure "acted" much older and more experienced than the author said she was. . . and I had a little trouble with that throughout the engaging, multi-layered story. Eg., In 1947, the age of independence for women was 21. The central character was only 19, turing 20 near the end of the story; yet she was quitte a woman of the world. It was a stretch for me. That aside, the story was very intriguing. All female spy networks during both WWI and WWII made for a colorful, twisty story throughout. The narration was superb.

what a story

After reading a couple dull books I was so happy to find the Alice Network. I liked how each storyline was kept separate and then finally converged at the end. Honestly the only thing I didn’t like was the constant math references to remind the reader that the protagonist was smart or good at math. “Solve for x” wasn’t relevant anywhere and you can’t just make up equations about interpersonal situations. I remembered the protagonist was smart by the things she did or said. The math references were just too forced. Anyway overall I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes world history, mystery, spies and an improbable trio banding together for a common purpose.

Fascinating read
