1947. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, Americ In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women - a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947 - are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.
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. ...more

But it sounds interesting. I rather think Ann might be wrong about sexual behavior in that era, especially as a universal statement. If she would read "Canterbury Tales," she would learn that humans have always had "loose" morals.(less)
Can anyone tell me if there are any books very similar to The Alice Network please?

Sjoe! Hierdie boek het my nogal geraak. Ek het dit lankal reeds op my Kindle gelaai, maar uitgestel om dit te lees. Nou is ek egter baie bly ek het dit aangedurf. Daar is heelwat mense wat dink dit was te lank, maar ek het elke oomblik hiervan verslint.
Alice is 'n vrou wat regtig geleef het, maar die verhaal handel oor Eve, een van die vroue in haar netwerk. Hulle is spioene in die Eerste Wêreldoorlog.

Nou is ek egter baie bly ek het dit aangedurf. Daar is heelwat mense wat dink dit was te lank, maar ek het elke oomblik hiervan verslint.
Alice is 'n vrou wat regtig geleef het, maar die verhaal handel oor Eve, een van die vroue in haar netwerk. Hulle is spioene in die Eerste Wêreldoorlog. Dit was ongelooflik om hieroor te lees, want gewoonlik handel hierdie tipe boeke oor 'n netwerk van vroue wat gevalle soldate bystaan, maar hierdie ene was oor vroue wat inligting versamel en deurgee aan die Britte. Ongelooflik wat hierdie dapper vroue gedoen het.
Die ander deel van die verhaal handel oor Charlie, 'n swanger meisie, wat na haar niggie, Rose, soek. Dit speel af NA die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, wat ook nogal lekker was, want ek is 'n bietjie moeg vir WOII boeke. Aan die einde van die boek kom die twee dele bymekaar uit en dit was verstommend!
Lees hierdie boek. Regtig die moeite werd. Die skrywer het in 'n laaste hoofstuk of wat verduidelik waar sy al haar inligting gekry het en watter karakters werklik geleef het. Baie, baie goed. ...more
