“Women who couldn’t be beaten.”

This book is a true woman-power book spanning two wars. The ladies of this book were truly remarkable, especially learning that the WWI spy “Lilli” was a true war heroine and many of her stories were historically accurate.

This book can get very dark, especially describing Eve’s time as a spy during the war and during prison. However, it added a layer of authenticity. The author’s ability to relay the horror of what was happening in this setting was incredible. It was palpable.

It felt like multiple books in one book reading the lifetime of Eve and journey of Charlie, yet I never got bored or felt the book dragged. Everything felt necessary.

This is definitely a book that will stay with me. The character of Eve was fascinating and memorable. Her journey with grief, self acceptance, and guilt gives a lot to reflect about. Charlie’s story of self acceptance, self forgiveness, and her taking control of her own life despite stigma and scorn is aspirational.

A solid three and a half stars. Good book, and a really big leap for me into a new genre. I enjoyed the story, but found it hard to follow at times. I appreciate the author’s attention to historical detail. Also, I SO appreciated the author adding a bit to the end to really tie the whole story up nicely.

I will note that it was far more challenging to read than I expected. War is dark and the effect is has is seen clearly on every page of this book.

I absolutely loved this book. The trio of Charlie, Eve and Finn; all of their flaws and developments were just captivating.
I loved the duo perspectives of both Eve and Charlie, it added a depth to the book and I loved to see their contrasts and similarities. It loses 0.25 of a rating purely because I feel like Charlie's perspective has nothing on Eve's, but it was nonetheless relevant to Eve's present story.
There were spicy moments, and swearing, which I found didn't take away from the plot or characters and I feel that reviews that claim they do, don't give Quinn enough credit for how they were used to show the development of character or who the characters were.
I'm thoroughly looking forward to reading more of Quinn's works because of this book!

Saskia Maarleveld's narration made me finish the audiobook, she is so talented with all the different accents!! <3 I wish the story had contained more historical elements (=facts about the world wars, as I'm such a war nerd myself). This is rare for me to say, but I enjoyed the romance between Charlie and Finn more than anything else in the story (damn does my heart melt just thinking about them). Overall the book was a nice experience of travelling through time, though it also felt a bit dragging at times — I wouldn't have minded if it had been shorter.

I was not expecting to so throughly enjoy this book! Badass women spies, badass women defying social convention. The dual timelines wove together beautifully, there was just enough truth in the fiction to keep me interested, and I appreciated that most of the characters were “fallen” people by society’s standards. Absolutely would read another book by Kate Quinn or on this subject.
