    About this audiobook

    The USA Today Bestseller!

    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.

    Patricia Adrian

    Patricia Adrian always wanted to write books, ever since she penned (literally, with a pen) her dozen-page long ‘novel’ in fifth grade. Her interests also include history (especially women in history), skulking around social media for much longer than she should, and reading, particularly when she’s on a tight deadline and should be writing instead.

      This was a great story with historical relevance and an interesting primary plot line with several sub-plots that enhanced the tale and filled out the characters. There was romance, drama, intrigue, and a perfect ending! Also, it was well narrated by Imogen Wilde and Antonia Whillans. I'd say this one would lend itself to storyboarding for a television mini-series on PBS, CBC, or, BBC. That's my opinion! I quite enjoyed this audiobook.
