American author Kate Quinn's new historical novel "The Alice Network", is set in two times - 1915 and 1947 - and the two stories are told in alternating chapters. The first one is told in the third person, while the second is told in the first person. That's a tricky maneuver for the best writer, but Quinn carries off one section quite well, while doing not as well in the other. The first story is about a British spy network - the "Alice Network" -operating in German-occupied northwestern France. Most of the agents were women and they were led by a real character, Louise de Bettignies, whose code name was "Lili". She was joined by fictional British/French Evelyn Gardiner, whose code name was "Marguerite". Marguerite was posted to work in a French collaborator's restaurant in Lille, serving the German diners and picking up tidbits along the way she'd pass to Lili, her British handler.The second story is set in 1947 and is the story about Evelyn Gardiner - now aged - and Charlotte St Clair - a 19 year old American who has come over to France with her mother to obtain a safe, legal abortion in Switzerland. She meets up with Eve and Eve's chauffeur, a Scot soldier named Finn. They are all looking for something, someone, in post-WW2 France. The second part is definitely the weaker of the two sections. Somehow, Eve - who was drawn really well in the first section - has devolved a bit into a caricature in this section and neither Finn or Charlie seem too real, either. I'm giving the book 4 stars because the first part is 5 star, while the second is 3 star.By the way, Kate Quinn writes about a real incident that happened in a small town outside of Limoges a few days after the DDay landings in Normandy. The Germans destroyed a village called Oradour-sur-Glane and murdered most of the residents. All told, over 600 people were murdered by a detachment of the Waffin-SS, who were looking for French partisans, supposedly operating out of the village. If you're interested in knowing more about this heinous crime, please look into Ethan Mordden's marvelous short novel, "One Day in France". It was published in 2015 and is still in print.
It is an entertaining book and I enjoyed reading it, but I gave it only 3 stars because it has incongruences and a all-is-well one-star end.It is the story of 2 women, 2 wars and one nasty male traitor.Eve and her story in WWI is well written and very engaging. I admired how the author could recreate masterfully the atmosphere of occupied France and the life of a female secret agent who was working to spy on the German invaders. The male French collaborateur is also well depicted. Eve and her challenges are all real. The decadent verses of Bodelaire echoe in the air. I went to re-read "Les Fleurs du Mal". The predator -prey relationship is artistically defined.The story of Charlie, on the other hand, is weaker and tainted by an unrealistic modern American feministic approach. She is the second protagonist of this book: underaged, pregnant and searching for a purpose in life, she goes on a quest all by herself, against the wishes of a pathetic mother, trying to clarify what happened to her beloved cousin who disappeared during WWII. She's more predictable and less real. No girl in those days would find liberation and consolation to a PTSD by sleeping with all her university pals. Sex and self liberation were not connected.Her mother is more of a caricature of the ideal idiotic burgeoise maman than a true character. The Scottish hunk who accompanies both ladies in their quest is a little bit of a joke, a candy for dreaming housewives. It seems to spring out of one of those cheap romantic novels which you buy at gas stations and corner stores. The illustration on the cover would portray this handsome shirtless mechanic passionately embracing the beautiful young girl in the rear of a stunning 1900's collector car.The grand finale is bombastically unreal. It seems out of a Far West movie. In a nutshell: half of this book was truly great, the other half was a disappoiniment. Perhaps this stems from the fact that I had the privilege of hearing first hand stories from real French, Italian and German women, who lived during WWII and whose mothers lived during the previous war. This talented but somehow naive author seems to have grasped some of the truths of what happened and how people were during those days, but her modern North American cultural approach reveals that she has more groundwork to do.Personally, I found the end a literay mistake: unrealistic, rushed, over optimistic and somewhat childish.Â
Outstanding and mesmerizing are the two words that first came to mind as I finished The Alice Network by Kate Quinn. This story is wonderfully written with deep, rich and complex characters. With great details along with solid writing, Ms. Quinn expertly brought this amazing story to life. This story kept me deeply engrossed with thrilling suspense, intriguing espionage and heartbreaking moments. I’m normally not a fan of historical fiction of this time period (specifically WWI and WW2), but I could not put this book down for a second.In addition to reading this book, I listened to it as an audio book. The narrator, Saskia Maarleveld, did an AMAZING job with the characters and their accents. The character’s personalities and the story itself truly came to life with Maarleveld’s performance and took this already great story to another level of grandness that was unsurpassed.Overall, this was an amazing story that truly is a must read for any fan of historical fiction and one that I would highly recommend.
