A book about female codebreakers at Bletchley Park during WWII? Written by Kate Quinn? Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld? COUNT ME IN.
This book is set in two timelines, the early 1940s and then 1947. And as those timelines progress you get to see the story of 3 unlikely friends unfold and become more intimate and complicated. It took me a minute to get into this book, but two friends told me to keep going, that I would love the story, and they weren't wrong.
Royal cameos, code breaking, a cute dog, bookish chat, and female friendships are the highlights of this novel. Plus there is some romance thrown in too. If you are a historical fiction fan, especially of WWII fiction, this is a must read.
