The Alice Network



 This novel by Kate Quinn spans both World War I and World War II. It tells the story of a young woman in 1947 who travels to Europe with a dual purpose in mind. 

Her mother accompanies her to take care of the unwed pregnancy of her daughter, and the young woman hopes to locate her long lost cousin whom she had lost contact with during the war. 

She reaches out to a former member of the Alice Network, a group of young women spies during WWI.

The story unveils their attempts to locate the missing cousin, but it also casts a light on the important role these brave young women played in defeating the Germans. 

What I really enjoyed about this book was the WWI connection since most of the books I’ve read recently took place during WWII.
