At my Book Club meeting this week reviewer Yvonne White presented “The Rose Code” by Kate Quinn, a true story about 3 English women who worked to decipher the secrets of the German Enigma machine during WWII. One of the women was Kate Middleton’s grandmother. The 3 women signed the British “Official Secrecy Act”, they could not utter one word about their work for 50 years! The book continues after the war with the women searching for a traitor from their code breaking days. This is a great book, I highly recommend it.
Glad you were able to get this one posted. It is a great collage and the book sounds terrific. I read THe Alice Network by her this summer which sounds similar to what you read I may try to find this and read it
A fabulous collage and wonderful narrative. I sure would enjoy that book!
I saw a movie a while back with Judi Dench doing a similar job, at the end she was the traitor and ended up in jail after all those years.
I e just been reading books by this author Lou Ann. The Rose Code is excellent but her latest one called The Alice Network is one of the best books I have ever read. I think I have just one left of her earlier ones to read still.
What a lovely collage telling your story well, this is the sort of book I love to read will be looking up the Rose Code, thanks for the information Lou Ann:)
That sounds really interesting- this is the kind of book I prefer. I like non-fiction with a historical slant. I may track this one down at our library!
I must check this one out.
