On the one hand it’s just the sort of book I love – historical fiction with a thrilling story and interesting characters that kept me wanting to read on and yet also made me want it to last as long as possible. I have very mixed thoughts about The Rose Code. Yet now they must race against the clock to crack one final code together, before it’s too late, for them and for their country. Osla, Mab and Beth are estranged, their friendship torn apart by secrets and betrayal. Seven years after they first meet, on the eve of the royal wedding between Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, disaster threatens. And shy local girl Beth is the outsider who trains as one of the Park’s few female cryptanalysts. ![]() Self-made Mab masters the legendary codebreaking machines as she conceals old wounds and the poverty of her East-End London upbringing. Vivacious debutante Osla has the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses – but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, working to translate decoded enemy secrets. Three very different women are recruited to the mysterious Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. ![]() Harper Collins| 18 March 2021| 645 pages| 3* ![]()
