From Goodreads
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.
My thoughts
I grabbed a copy of this from BorrowBox the digital lending side of the local Library.
This is the story of Evie and Rose, brought up in different social circles these two young women are going to find that their paths cross when they end up at Bletchley Park both working to help decode messages that are sent by the Luftwaffe during World War Two. As the two young ladies settle in to their new lives as very useful young women, they soon learn that there is much more to life than they at first thought there was and that the world is their oyster and what they make of it. Neither of them have to settle for what they thought they had to, they can change their futures themselves.
I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by this Author in the future.
