The
Alice Network is a tour de force – and that is the right
language to use. I don't usually go for
split time lines but this book does it just beautifully. It is a story about women spies in occupied
France in WWI and the aftermath of WWII.
I'm not going to spoil it for you but I must insist
that you read it. There are some heart
wrenching bits but there are also some funny bits.
At the end of the book, the author explains that quite
a lot of the book is based on real history.
But the real and the fictional are blended so seamlessly.
Kate Quinn is so good. I need to read more by her.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this one, I don't like the split time lines, usually, but this certainly worked. What an amazing woman "Alice" was.
ReplyDeleteI like narration in split time frames so this is definitely me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good one!
