OVEL OF THE YEAR In 1915 a network of valiant spies left a legacy of glory and sacrifice. But also of treason. Thirty years later, the moment of truth has arrived. 1947. Young American Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, single, and about to be kicked out of her very decent family. As her world falls apart, her only illusion is the faint hope that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, remains alive. 1915. A year after the outbreak of the Great War, Eve Gardiner is eager to join the fight against the Germans, so she does not hesitate for a moment when she is recruited as a spy for the underground organization known as Alice's Network. Three decades later, haunted by the betrayal that destroyed the network, Eve spends her days among bottles of alcohol locked in her dilapidated London home. Until a young American woman appears on her doorstep saying a name that Eve has not heard for decades and is on a mission: to find out the truth no matter where it leads.
