The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
5.0
All reviews can be found onLife with Emily
The Alice Network follows the story of two women – a female spy, Eve, recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite, Charlie St. Clair, searching for her cousin in 1947—are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.Told in alternating points of view, you are drawn into WWI and present time as the two women’s stories unfold. The author did quite a bit of research on real women heroes (Louise de Bettignies & Leonie Van Houtte) when bringing this novel to life and I loved that these two powerful women inspired the book.
review: As a historical-fiction junkie I am mad at myself for letting this book sit on my shelf for so long. This is one of the best historical fiction books I have read in a long time (it’s up there with The Nightingale and Lilac Girls!). The story is captivating, enthralling & the duo timelines and alternating perspectives made for a phenomenal, well told story. I really enjoyed all of the characters in this book and didn’t want it to end! I already have her newest book, The Huntress, on my bookshelf ready to read! rating: 5 out of 5 ⭐️
