Description
En 1915 una red de valerosas espías dejó un legado de gloria y sacrificio. Pero también de traición. Treinta años después, ha llegado la hora de la verdad. 1947. La joven americana Charlie St. Clair está embarazada, soltera y a punto de ser expulsada de su muy decente familia. Mientras su mundo se viene abajo, su única ilusión es la débil esperanza de que su amada prima Rose, que desapareció en la Francia ocupada por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, siga viva. 1915. Un año después del estallido de la Gran Guerra, Eve Gardiner está deseando unirse a la lucha contra los alemanes, así que no duda un instante cuando es reclutada como espía de la organización clandestina conocida como "la red de Alice". Tres décadas más tarde, obsesionada por la traición que destruyó la red, Eve pasa sus días entre botellas de alcohol encerrada en su ruinosa casa de Londres. Hasta que una joven americana aparece en su puerta pronunciando un nombre que Eve no ha escuchado desde hace décadas y embarcada en una misión: averiguar la verdad sin importar a dónde conduzca. Heroísmo, amor y suspense en una apasionante novela inspirada en el episodio histórico real de la red de mujeres espías que salvó a más de mil soldados de la muerte.
Description
It's 1947 and 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 fervent belief that her beloved French cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during the war, might still be alive somewhere. So when Charlie's family banishes her to Europe to have her "little problem" take care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister. In 1915, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance to serve when she's recruited to work as a spy for the English. Sent into enemy-occupied France during The Great War, 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 launching them both on a mission to find the truth ... no matter where it leads.
