The Historical Novel of the Year
In 1915, a network of courageous spies left a legacy of glory and sacrifice, but also of betrayal. Thirty years later, the time for the truth has arrived.
Young American Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being expelled from her respectable family. As her world crumbles, her only glimmer of hope is the faint possibility that her beloved cousin Rose, who vanished in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, is still alive.
A year after the outbreak of the Great War, Eve Gardiner is eager to join the fight against the Germans, so she does not hesitate when recruited as a spy for the clandestine organization known as "the Alice Network."
Three decades later, obsessed by the betrayal that destroyed the network, Eve spends her days in a drunken haze, confined to her dilapidated London home. Until a young American woman appears at her door, uttering a name Eve has not heard in decades, and embarking on a mission to uncover the truth, no matter where it leads.
Heroism, love, and suspense converge in this captivating novel, inspired by the real-life historical episode of the network of female spies who saved more than a thousand soldiers from death.
