ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn weaves together the stories of two determined women across different eras. In the aftermath of World War II, the headstrong American Charlie St. Clair embarks on a search for her missing cousin Rose, a quest that unexpectedly leads her to the embittered and reclusive Eve Gardiner. Eve, a former spy in the clandestine "Alice Network" during World War I, is haunted by betrayal and the painful secrets of her past. As their paths intertwine, Charlie’s relentless pursuit of the truth forces Eve to confront her long-suppressed memories, ultimately revealing a shared enemy and a mission of long-delayed retribution. The novel explores themes of espionage, the enduring scars of war, female resilience, and the complexities of betrayal and revenge.
