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.

I loved this historical fiction which tells us the story of Eve as a spy in the war, and the story of Charlie who is looking for her cousin lost during the war. Charlie convinces Eve to help her and we learn more of their back stories and find out how their paths have been entwined.
It was narrated wonderfully too!

Excellent historical novel!

The story is a bit cliched, the writing hammy in parts and the Charlie character is annoying but inspite of this I enjoyed it. It keep me listening and all the things you want to happen, happen. Sweet and satisfying.

I’m sorry but I couldn’t last the distance I know the story is fine and the narrator with a lovely voice but truly there is nothing new. It’s not awful just mediocre.
