The Alice Network
Two wars, two women, and a real network of female spies whose work history almost entirely forgot.
Two timelines braid together: a network of women spying for the Allies in occupied France during the First World War, and an American girl in 1947 searching for a cousin who vanished in the second. Quinn draws on the real Alice Network and its recruiter Louise de Bettignies to build a story about women whose wartime work went largely unrecorded. It moves quickly, but the interest is in what survival costs and what it leaves behind.

I think you’ll really enjoy this exciting and fast-paced story about a pregnant American socialite who teams up with a female ex-spy and a hot-tempered young soldier in the aftermath of WWII.
