However, what makes this such a hard book to review is the heavy subject matter as it deals with the harshness of both world wars, female heroism, PTSD and the goodness and evil of men. Don’t misunderstand, The Alice Network is beautiful, and as a reader, I felt that I was in the hands of a true storyteller. This is the hardest book I’ve reviewed so far and I’m trying to discern why.įor one thing, it was a hard read. The two form selfless friendship that is a driving force for Eve even three decades later. She meets her trainer, Lili, the “Queen of Spies” and is mesmerized by her wit, courage, and joy in the face of adversity. Her flair for acting and secret mastery of the German language enables her to spy on the officers she serves. In Eve's chapters, we learn that she is a recruited by the British Secret Service and is stationed as a waitress in Lille, France (which is under German occupation). The first takes place from Eve’s perspective in 1915, the other from Charlie’s perspective in 1947. The story is told in two timelines with alternating POV (points of view). National Bestselling Author Kate Quinn has done it again in her newest novel The Alice Network (released in June 2017).
