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. “Both funny and heartbreaking, this epic journey of two courageous women is an unforgettable tale of little-known wartime glory and sacrifice. Quinn knocks it out of the park with this spectacular book!”—Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of America's First Daughter

“Well, of course I like it. But when people meet our brothers, they don't just comment on their looks, they ask, How do you do in school?' or Do you play football?' No one ever does that with us."

“ Thank you for the loan of your girl, Francis." 

 No one asked Eve if it was any trouble. Why should they? File girls, after all, were a kind of office furniture, more mobile than an umbrella fern, but just as deaf and dumb.

“Why is it always about being pretty with us?" Rose exclaimed, still glaring over the stunning view of vines and sky. 

"Don't you like being pretty? I wish I were." 

“Well, of course I like it. But when people meet our brothers, they don't just comment on their looks, they ask, ‘How do you do in school? or Do you play football?’ No one ever does that with us.”

"Poetry is like passion-it should not be merely pretty; it should overwhelm and bruise.”
