Recensione

“The Alice Network has history, suspense, romance and women kicking butt. I couldn’t put it down.” — NPR Books

A must-read!

Recensito in Italia il 1 agosto 2021

Acquisto verificato

As I finished the epilogue of this brilliant book, liberating tears immediately spilled down my cheeks!
Have you ever let yourself be so caught up in a story that letting go of the characters almost hurt? Have you ever experienced a liberating cry? I hadn’t before now. I hadn’t even realised it had been building in me from the beginning of this book, but apparently it had.
And boy was it good to let it out! I believe Eve deserved my cry but most of all Louise De Bettignies and all the courageous women who fought and laid down their lives for our freedom in WWI and WWII did!

Now that I got that off my chest, let me tell you about this little masterpiece!

This is the story of a young girl called Eve who joins the Alice Network in WWI France. This was a network of British spies that was run by a woman called Louise De Bettignies. We follow young Eve during her years in Lille as she spies on the Germans, while working for a ruthless Frenchman, René, in a local cafe! The book alternates from her story in 1915 to present day in 1947. In 1947 we meet Charlie, a 19 yr old American socialite who is encinte and searching for her missing cousin, Rose. Somehow her search leads her to the now alcohol ridden and trigger-happy Eve. While sparks fly quickly between the two stubborn women, they soon realise that they might have a common enemy! Enter Finn Kilgote, Eve’s brooding, Scottish driver, and what you get is one of the best threesome main characters I have encountered in a book!

Quinn has woven a heart wrenching story of love, sacrifice, betrayal and revenge, sprinkled with her usual humour, her meticulous research and her unquenchable thirst to for demonstrating women’s bravery to the world!
A must-read!

Dedicato alle donne spie

Recensito in Italia il 6 marzo 2020

Acquisto verificato

Kate Quinn porta alla ribalta alcune delle storie quasi totalmente sconosciute di donne coraggiose ed intrepide che hanno fatto la spia a favore degli alleati contro gli invasori tedeschi durante la prima guerra mondiale.
Lo fa romanzando le vite di alcune di loro e facendole arrivare alla fine della II guerra mondiale con il suo umorismo e con la sua capacità di inserire una storia d'amore che scalda il cuore dopo tanto orrore che ha descritto.
Un po' romanzo alla 007 e un po' tenera avventura di una ricca americana in Europa.
Un buon libro che si legge tutto d'un fiato.

A great adventure along two great "personal" stories interwined with History of both World Wars.
Start it and you won't let it down, though some moments are so real and painful that you wouod like to be able to put it down.

Poorly Executed

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 22 dicembre 2018

Acquisto verificato

In the never-ending search for good novels, reviews play a significant part. I bought this novel based on the reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and in the press. It is the story of two female spies, one working in the First World War and the other in the Second, who are brought together through a mutual connection. The premise ought to have resulted in a compelling story, but sadly the characters are shallow and wooden, the plots poorly executed and, a particular bugbear of historical novels, the research is poor. Nothing stops a novel in its tracks more than anachronisms and this is a case in point.

I know many people have enjoyed this book, but I really do think we should be more demanding of authors. The superficial can only entertain for so long.

1915 - 1944

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 luglio 2019

Acquisto verificato

Spy story ? We think of 007 or some sleazy character popping out of the cold. In “The Alice Network”, the spy is female, afflicted with a stutter and masquerading as a waitress in Lille in 1915. Eve, the spy in question, is a good comedian. To René, the owner-manager of the luxury restaurant where she works, she can appear as a simpleton, but an attractive simpleton just the same. She ends up in his bed. Eve, in fact, is very clever, well-organised, disciplined and resourceful. She is also fluent in three languages : English, French and German.
Lille is then in German-occupied France. Just as Eve does not fit in with the usual idea of a spy, René does not fit in with the general idea of an arch villain : he is tall, slim, elegant and educated, but down deep he really is a horrible human being. Actively collaborating with the Germans, he is totally self-centred and ruthless.
What René does to Eve and to another one of his waitresses, is for the reader to discover. There is also a secondary plot : a love story told vigorously, without sentimentality.
It is important to know that the character of Eve was inspired by a real female spy of WW1 : Louise de Bettignies.
The novel is well written, and keeps us on tenterhooks the whole time. The style remains sober while managing to create an atmosphere of unrelenting dread and gloom.
A final remark : when anyone mentions the words "occupied France", we think of WW2 and the cloak of horror that Nazis had been spreading over occupied countries, but the attitude of the Germans in the part of France they controlled in WW1 was equally horrific.

Roses are Amber

A dual timeline spy thriller.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 17 novembre 2019

Acquisto verificato

The Alice Network is a dual timeline spy thriller.

When World War One broke out, Eve yearned to take part. Raised by dual nationality parents and brought up in a French town where she also picked up a third language, Eve became an ideal recruit for Britain’s spy network.

In 1947 Charlie St. Clair, an American teenager, comes to Britain searching for a woman who might be able to help her find her French cousin who disappeared during the Second World War. In London, she discovers a broken and grieving woman who finds nightly solace in a bottle of whisky.
As the story unfolds, Eve and Charlie connect and we are drawn into a tale of the Alice Network, one of the most successful spy rings of the first World War.

I’m so glad that I finally got to read this book. I’m a fan of well-written and atmospheric stories of espionage, particularly set during war times. The dual timeline worked well and I was equally invested in both women's stories. It was one of those books that I didn’t want to end. The author’s notes at the back were also particularly interesting, giving a little more insight into the true events of the time.

Overall, give this a go if you enjoy books about women's roles during World War One.

A search for truth and revenge!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 gennaio 2018

Acquisto verificato

This novel alternates between two time periods with one of the main characters, Eve, as the link between the two. The earlier period focuses on her time as an English spy working in German-occupied France as part of The Alice Network in the First World War. The novel goes back and forth to the events of 1915 from 1947 when an American girl, Charlotte, is looking for a missing relative. She tracks down Eve whose name she has been given as a possible lead and they form an alliance to seek out the truth. As the novel progresses, I warmed to Eve in the same way that Charlotte does, and the author skilfully builds up this relationship as well as Charlotte's relationship with Eve's driver. It is well written with good historical accuracy and themes of the emotional as well as physical damage from war, as well as love, guilt and revenge. I couldn't put it down when I nearer end the end as I needed to know what happened! Always a good sign!! I've given this a four star instead of five only because I felt the story about Charlie and Finn, whilst enjoyable, was a little predictable.

YA? I think so. Whole book gets 3 stars.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 13 gennaio 2018

Acquisto verificato

I give this book 4 stars as I can't give 3½. The story of Eve during WW1 is very interesting, and even more so when you get to the end and read the author's notes about the spy networks and the input of the women involved. The 1947 'lead', Charlie, is a spoiled brat who acts like one most of the time. And a calculus student who makes up silly equations. What was that about? I also had issues with some of the social history aspects - food and prices, and petrol and travel during the immediate post-war years were the main ones. Bread was still on ration in 1954 for example. American authors may do their research but they never seem to get Europe and UK quite right. Pavement please, not boardwalk. Read like a YA rather than a full adult book to me.
