Beth is a spinster whose mother keeps her servile and reticent, but when Osla and Mab are billeted at her house, they soon draw her in to Bletchley’s inner workings. Mab is tall as an Amazon and tough as nails after an impoverished and traumatic upbringing in East London for her, Bletchley Park is as much a marriage mart as it is a military complex. Osla is a debutante trying to prove she’s more than the champagne-swigging socialite the world expects her to be, even as she engages in a high-profile love affair with Prince Phillip of Greece. In her latest novel, Quinn takes us deep into the lives of three women working at Bletchley Park - the mysterious estate where England’s greatest minds broke enemy codes during WWII. ![]() Just when I think I’ve read every war story I’m ever likely to enjoy, Kate Quinn comes up with a new way to spin history into gold. ![]()
