The story is told through two different points of view and about different times. One is a girl called Charlie after WW2 searching for her missing cousin with the help of a woman named Eve. Eve was a spy in France during WW1. It tells the story of both women. I personally enjoyed both points of view and stories and how they intertwined with each other. I felt invested into both of them and their stories.
I like the characters and by the end really felt for them. And loved how they developed and grow as people.
I felt like it dealt with hard topics very well and really made them feel real. It made me google and learn about the real life woman the novel is based off. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend. I would before you read however, search for the warnings as this book does have quite a few.
