The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful book. There was nothing about it that I didn't love. First of all, I love hearing the contribution of women during wartime, even with massive misogyny. This story weaves in and out of two eras and eventually brings them together wonderfully.
The writing style is exquisite. I love Ms. Quinn's use of language and he ability to portray emotion on paper. I felt for the characters.
What seemed like a "story" about interesting people during the war turns out to be a well-researched novel based on real people and real events. Some of the characters are synthesized but the author has taken pains to create a story that may seem unbelievable but in reality, is a tribute to these strong women. Thank you, Ms. Quinn, I learned a lot and look forward to more books from your pen.
