Ladies, Ladies, Ladies: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn is extraordinary, compelling, historical, revealing, healing…
The narrative of The Alice Network alternates between 1915 and 1944 chapter after chapter skillfully telling the story of female spies in WW1 and WW2 in Europe with an amazing amount of historical accuracy. Europe did not have a chance to recover from WW1 before they were reliving the tragedy of another war.
My husband and I had the opportunity to go to four reunions with Marines who survived Iwo Jimo (with Dave’s Dad before he passed in 2018). There are many layers to war stories. It is personal for veterans. To also have the insights of women patriots as told in the The Alice Network is a blessing.
As a second personal note, 2015 was the 100th anniversary of Allison Transmission where I worked for 36 years…2015 was also the 100th anniversary of Tennessee Tech University where I graduated in Industrial Engineering…2015 was also the 100th anniversary of the town of White Pine TN where my parents have lived for the past 40 years…2015 was also the 100th anniversary of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard near where we lived in the early 1970s. Many enterprises, schools, communities, government facilities do not last 50 years (or lost their original identities).
So… four entities I am very familiar with were all founded in 1915…that is before World War I. What an interesting coincidence! I added a web page with a tab above because I was unaware of this common denominator until 2015.
