The Alice Network

by Kate Quinn

Hope was such a painful thing, far more painful than rage.

Hope and rage: these two things are at the core of every book I write. Above all else, a Kate Quinn heroine dares to hope when all hope is lost, and dares to be angry when the world tells her to shut up and smile. In “The Alice Network,” Charlie's hope that her cousin is alive and Eve's rage at the death of her friend move mountains. In “The Huntress,” Jordan's hope for a career over marriage changes her entire family's future, and Nina's rage honed by an ugly childhood literally propels her into the sky. In “The Rose Code,” three young codebreakers fling their minds against a wall of unbreakable code and hope to find a crack, and their rage at seeing that work betrayed will help save a nation.
