A stunning new historical novel perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Dinah Jeffries!
From debutante to farmerโs 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 Englandโs finest estates, just like her mother.
In a different world, Rose Wiley would have married her fiancรฉ, David, established a modest homestead, and brought up a brood of babies, just like her mother.
But this isnโt 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 โ a life of purpose โ 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 donโt have to settle for the life once laid out before them.
Patricia Adrian always wanted to write books, ever since she penned (literally, with a pen) her dozen-page long โnovelโ 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 sheโs on a tight deadline and should be writing instead.
Patricia lives in Germany and can speak a handful of foreign languages โ English is one of them. She has previously been longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction.
