The Locale: Gina's
The Book:
In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women—a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947—are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.

Sarah's Summary:
Gina, that baked ziti was so darn good. And the chocolate mousse to die for. Thanks for hosting a great meeting- I think we all liked The Alice Network and especially appreciated that while it was about war, it was a much needed, lighter read after Devil in the Grove. It’s always fun to catch up and to hear about your spring break trips and kiddos who are growing up so fast. When we started I had a kid in diapers. Now, some of you are about to send your oldest off to college in the fall. All while we haven’t aged a bit 😉 I’m happy Jana could rejoin our club and can’t wait to read our next book, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. We’ll be discussing that at Susan H’s on May 6th so mark your calendars. We voted on Jessica’s selections and will be reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. If I’m not mistaken, we’ve set that date for June 3rd at Jessica’s.
It was brought to my attention that in my reordering of folks on the list to give a little separation between non-fiction leaning people, I inadvertently hopped a few folks. So how does this look for our order? I added Jana and Holly in and moved myself and Jessica around as well. I’ve attached the latest spreadsheet.
