The Alice Network
This fascinating work of historical fiction intertwines two women’s stories across the ravaged landscapes of World War I and the uneasy aftermath of World War II. The focus is on women’s resistance and how it can be quiet, dangerous, and brilliant, but exposes the costs of courage in times when being a woman already made survival an act of defiance. Quinn’s female characters are interesting and resilient, making for a powerful read. It’s inspiring what women are capable of when the world underestimates them.
