Description
A stunning new historical novel perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Dinah Jeffries!
From debutante to farmer’s daughter all roads lead to Bletchley…
In a different world, Evie Milton would have accepted her fate, married an aristocrat, and become the doyenne of one of England’s finest estates, just like her mother.
In a different world, Rose Wiley would have married her fiancé, David, established a modest homestead, and brought up a brood of babies, just like her mother.
But this isn’t a different world and these women are not their mothers. Rose dreams of a life filled with more than family and duty to her husband – a life of purpose – and Evie dreams of a life far away from her rarefied existence. Now, as they perform vital work at Bletchley Park decoding intercepted Luftwaffe messages, their role in turning the tide of war in the Allies favour shows Evie and Rose they don’t have to settle for the life once laid out before them.

WW2 at Bletchley Park, together they make for a very good story. Three ladies from very different backgrounds come together to work there. This has a good story line but there isn't so much detail as I have read in other books but this is still a very good read and I enjoyed it. This is more about the girls than the work that went on there but it is still worth 5 stars.
Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this e ARC

Stories of Bletchley never cease to amaze me and this one is the cat's pajamas! I adored the juxtaposition of Evie and Rose in their childhoods and how their friendship balanced one another's futures. I hope a second novel gets written to follow up with the gals in their post-war lives.

I was introduced to this author by Netgalley, what a gift.
We have Evie who is to the manor born and decides she want to live life away from the constraints for her father. Then we have Rose who is more accustomed to working in the fields of the farm doesn’t want to settle to the life offered by marrying and having children.
Both are whisked off to Bletchley under the pretext of other offers. As they settle to their duties we are introduced to Lucy who works alongside them. So exciting. The attention to detail is fascinating and a learning curve.
