Dee (austhokie) | 638 comments Have you tried Kate Quinn - she has a WW1/WW2 alternating POV abt female spies (The Alice Network)

And her new book (The Huntress) comes out today

The first one I read was The Blessing Stone and it was super interesting. The book travels through time and from narrator to narrator (from a primitive woman to a modern day girl in California). The link is that they all are currently in possession of the "blessing stone".

The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman- historical fiction set as a woman's autobiography

I’m now reading Deborah Burrows Ambulance Girls which is set in London during the same war.

May interest you?
