Summary

Selección del Club de Lectura Hello Sunshine de Reese Witherspoon.

LA NOVELA HISTÓRICA DEL AÑO

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.

In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women—a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947—are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.

1947. 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
