Andree, Relief Librarian for the County of Lennox & Addington Libraries, recently enjoyed the historical fiction novel, The Alice Network. Here is her review:

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn is the intriguing story of two resourceful and determined women. Set in 1947, it centers on 22 year old Charlotte and a cantankerous, retired WWI spy named Eve.

Eve is trained and send to France to join the Alice Network of women spies. She gets a job in a restaurant frequented by enemy officers so she can pass on any information she overhears. Eve and her compatriots lead dangerous, secret lives. After the war, she meets Charlotte (Charlie) a half American/ half French, unmarried and pregnant college student.

Charlie is looking for her French cousin and has been told that Eve can help with the search. Embittered by her war experiences, Eve at first refuses but later relents. The two women accompanied by Finn Kilgore who works for Eve as driver, cook, and general handyman set off on their fascinating quest.
