Description
In this enthralling historical novel, two women are brought together in a story of courage and redemption: a female spy recruited into the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college student Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried and on the verge of being expelled from her respectable family. She still hopes that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France, may be alive. Sent to Europe by her parents, Charlie escapes and travels to London to discover what happened to Rose. In 1915, Eve Gardiner is recruited as a spy and sent to enemy-occupied France, where she is trained by Lili, the “Queen of Spies,” who runs a vast network of secret agents. Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that destroyed the Alice Network, Eve lives in seclusion until a young American arrives and utters a name she has not heard for decades. Together, they set out to uncover the truth, wherever it may lead.
