In a riveting new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women—one recruited into the real-life Alice network in France during World War I— Spies, and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947—are brought together in a captivating story of courage and redemption.
In 1947, during the chaotic period after World War II, American female college student Charlie St. Clair became pregnant out of wedlock and was about to be kicked out of her legitimate family. She also desperately hopes that her beloved cousin Rose, who went missing in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie’s parents deport her to Europe to solve her “little problem,” Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loved like a sister.
In 1915, a year after the outbreak of World War I, Eve Gardiner was eager to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly got her chance when she was recruited as a spy. She is sent to enemy-occupied France to be trained by the charming “Spy Queen” Lily, who manages a vast network of secret agents under the noses of the enemy.
Thirty years later, Eve is haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tears apart Alice’s web, and she spends her days drunk and lonely in her ramshackle London house. That is until a young American steps in, speaks a name Eve has not heard in decades, and sets the two of them on a mission to find the truth… wherever that truth may lead.
“The epic journey of these two brave women is as entertaining as it is heartbreaking, an unforgettable tale of little-known wartime glory and sacrifice. Quinn shines with this brilliant book !”—Stephanie Del Rey, New York Times bestselling author of “America’s First Daughter”
