The Alice Network	comment	The Alice Network is a 2017 historical fiction novel by Kate Quinn.The year is 1915, and Britain is in the midst of what would eventually be called World War One. Evelyn Gardiner, a bored typewriter girl with a talent for lying, is spotted one day by the handsome, Scottish recruitment officer Captain Cameron and becomes a spy. After completing training, she joins the Alice Network, a network of spies based in the starved French city of Lille, and is immediately plunged into a world of danger and excitement beyond her wildest dreams — or maybe nightmares. Among Eve's comrades in Lille are Lili, the vivacious Frenchwoman running the network, and Violette, Lili's stern Foil and second in command. Also present is René Bordelon, an elegant French profiteer who could ruin everything if he learned Eve’s secrets…32 years later, Charlotte "Charlie" St. Clair, a grieving pregnant teen, comes across Eve, now a bitter, alcoholic old woman. Charlie somehow pulls Eve into her quest to find her missing cousin Rose, and Charlie, Eve, and Eve's driver Finn, embark on a road trip that will change everything...

The Alice Network / int_10c444b0	type	The Gentleman or the Scoundrel
The Alice Network / int_10c444b0	comment	The Gentleman or the Scoundrel: Played with. Eve sleeps with both a kind Officer and a Gentleman, and M. Bordelon, a profiteer and Man of Wealth and Taste. However, it's never a choice between them — Eve actively despises Bordelon and only sleeps with him because she needs the information — and she doesn't end up with either one in the end.

When talking to each other, Lili, Violette, and Eve speak in English so they can hide behind the language barrier, but sometimes use French words. In particular, Lili seems to prefer to say curses and words related to love or sex in French rather than English.

The Alice Network / int_19d1c1ae	comment	Always Someone Better: Played with. Eve feels jealous of Lili when Cameron first describes her as his best spy, but gets over it when she meets Lili. Not only does she like Lili a lot, she also realizes that their roles are different, but both important. (Lili’s job is “to be anyone” — to pretend to be many different people, all insignificant. Eve can’t do this — her stutter is too memorable — so instead her job is “to be no one,” or, in other words, Marguerite.) To top it off, Lili even gives her explicit permission to sleep with Captain Cameron if she gets the opportunity, removing any competition on that front.

The Alice Network / int_8387bb18	comment	Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Some of the characters believe that abortion is evil. This belief is why Charlie and Evelyn have so much trouble getting abortions. Charlie has to go to Switzerland, where abortions are legal, to get a safe procedure, and Evelyn is forced to accept the services of a Back-Alley Doctor. The Back-Alley Doctor tells a patient that she can borrow the tools she needs for an abortion from a doctor she knows, but that the doctor would never do it himself — he goes to mass every Sunday. Charlie half believes it herself, and has mixed feelings about her approaching abortion. Realizing she's been pushed into the abortion, she doesn't go through with it, and ultimately decides to keep the baby. The spy, Lili, is implied to disapprove of abortion. It isn't stated outright, but she's Catholic, and when one of the other characters needs an abortion, she doesn't talk to her friend, Lili, about it and no suggestion is ever made of telling her.
