![]() ![]() ![]() Clair, an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947. The story is about two women-Eve Gardiner, a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and the other, Charlie St. This allows the two narratives to eventually come together in a really exciting and interesting way. ![]() But where this read is different is that the narratives aren’t so far apart, one takes place during WWI and the other right after the end of WWII. Like many historical fiction books, this is a dual narrative in different timelines. So, I very much appreciate that Quinn decided to focus her book on real-life heroes who haven’t received the attention they deserve. Even now, with a simple Google search there’s not much information about the Alice Network, other than the book, of course. Before reading this book, I was not familiar with the real-life Alice Network, the WWI secret female spy ring. I’ve always loved history and one of my favorite aspects of reading historical fiction is learning something new about a specific time in the past. ![]()
