Perfect for you if...

  • You love dual-timeline narratives that braid together different eras and show how the past haunts the present.
  • You're drawn to stories about women resisting—whether through espionage, defiance, or simply refusing to disappear from history.
  • You appreciate meticulously researched historical fiction that feels both intimate and sweeping.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your historical fiction lighter in tone; this book carries real weight around trauma, loss, and the moral costs of war.
  • You want a fast-paced plot with constant action; this one builds character and mystery through careful revelation.
  • You're looking for romance as the central plot; these are stories about survival, loyalty, and redemption first.

About this book

Two women's lives intersect across decades in this historical fiction novel. In 1947, American college student Charlie St. Clair, pregnant and unmarried, is sent to Europe by her family. She breaks free from their plans and travels to London, determined to discover what happened to her cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Thirty years earlier, in 1915, Eve Gardiner is recruited as a female spy during World War I. Sent into enemy-occupied France, she works within the Alice Network, a real-life spy operation managed by Lili, known as the "Queen of Spies." Decades later, Eve lives in seclusion in a crumbling London house, haunted by a betrayal that destroyed the network. When Charlie arrives speaking a name from Eve's past, the two embark on a mission that connects their stories across time to uncover the truth about what happened during the war.
