What I found great after finishing this story was the author notes at the end which mention which of the characters were actually based on historical figures and which weren't. Eve's story takes us through the world of women espionage during the first World War and introduces us to the real life Queen of Spies, Louise de Bettignies. The novel features two strong heroines - Eve Gardiner and Charlie St Clair. The Queen of Spies herself, courtesy of Wikipedia The Alice Network was actually real as was the leader and Kate Quinn has done a marvelous job of interweaving actual historic events into a story that is hard to put down. The Alice Network was actually penned first and after reading it I am even more keen to read The Huntress! The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, photo by Lou16Ī little while ago I read a review on this very site for a book called The Huntress by Kate Quinn which peeked my interest so when I was in a bookstore and saw The Alice Network by Kate Quinnauthor of The Huntress I just had to buy it. This riveting historical fiction novel is one that is hard to put down once you start reading and takes you on a journey through both the first World War as well as post World War II.
