The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my I am behind on my book reviews! I decided not to review any books while on vacation in Miami and read a whopping 5 books on vacation which are patiently waiting to be reviewed. So here goes nothing!
I have recently been dying to read Kate Quinn’s The Huntress which just came out. But in my quest to read everything from Reese’s Book Club, I simply had to read The Alice Network first (plus my library has like a 6 month waiting list for The Huntress….).
The Alice Network is a WWI AND WWII novel, with one story line taking place during the Great War and the other taking place shortly after the Second World War. In the past, Eve is a full blown spy, trying to expose German secrets. But when she finds herself in a relationship with the enemy, she may have gotten more than she bargained for. In the later timeline, Charlie is a pregnant-out-of-wedlock young lady whose parents have dragged her overseas to get an abortion. But while she’s there she will be more focused on searching for her cousin Rose who went missing in Nazi-occupied France during the war. Eve and Charlie will come crashing together as their stories collide.
I simply adored this book. STRONG WOMEN. That’s what I have to say. Both Eve and Charlie were incredible characters dreamed up by Kate Quinn and splashed on the pages of The Alice Network. They were both fiesty and fierce and fought for what they believed in. It’s especially inspiring to see such strength in the time period in which this book was set. And to think that network of spies deemed The Alice Network was a real thing is simply incredible.
I listened to this book on audio and would highly recommend. The accents are good and the narrator is engaging. It’s a pretty lengthy audiobook that will keep you entertained for either a really long car ride or many short ones (or just a day of cleaning the house and errands… however you like to listen to your audiobooks).
And now I am so much more excited to read The Huntress… if only I didn’t have to wait so long to get my hands on it. I think I know where my next Audible credit is going!
