Kate Quinn is a native of southern California. She attended Boston University, where she earned a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Classical Voice. A lifelong history buff, she has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga, and two books in the Italian Renaissance, before turning to the 20th century with "The Alice Network." All have been translated into multiple languages.
1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, American college girl Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried, and on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family. She's also nursing a desperate hope that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive. So when Charlie's parents banish her to Europe to have her "little problem" taken care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister.
1915. A year into the Great War, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance when she's recruited to work as a spy. Sent into enemy-occupied France, she's trained by the mesmerizing Lili, the "Queen of Spies", who manages a vast network of secret agents right under the enemy's nose.
Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. Until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades, and launches them both on a mission to find the truth ...no matter where it leads.

Weaving the plot around not-so-well-known Wikipedia entries might appear to be a clever idea from the outset, but in the end it doesn't do much to change the fact that this book is a chick lit at heart and a failed attempt to enunciate the gravity of history and war. And it's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long at that.
评分Eve的故事還有些意思,想寫女性但這文筆也太生硬,錶現方式也太糟糕瞭,根本就是把口號往臉上甩。Charlie的故事無聊至極,像是披著曆史外衣的狗血青春劇。
评分這是一本非常女性主義的小說,以兩個女主的綫索貫穿瞭兩次世界大戰,顯然Eve的故事綫更飽滿一些,但overall - 還是情節單調瞭些。

评分Eve的敘事綫比Charlie的敘事綫更引人入勝。我是用audible看的這本書,Eve綫敘述的時候經常聽著就走神瞭。想想看問題大概就在我覺得Eve的故事太青春疼痛瞭。
