In a fascinating new historical novel, from the national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women – a female spy who recruited the French real-life Alice network during World War I and an unconventional American socialite in 1947 – recruited her cousin in a fascinating story.
It was 1947. After the chaos of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair became pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being abandoned by her very suitable family. She also desperately hoped that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie’s parents banished her to Europe with a “small problem”, Charlie rested freely and headed to London, determined to find out what happened to her favorite cousin like her sister.
It was 1915. A year after the war, Eve Gardiner burned down the fight against the Germans, and when she was recruited to work as a spy, she unexpectedly got an opportunity. She was sent to France’s enemy, trained by the charming Lili, the “Queen of Spy”, who manages a huge network of secret agents right under the enemy’s nose.
Thirty years later, plagued by betrayal, and eventually tore up Alice’s network, Eve spent a lot of time drunk in the collapsed house in London. Until a young American barge said under Eve’s name, it hadn’t been heard for decades and launched them both into a mission to find the truth…wherever it was.
