Indlæser... The Rose Codeaf Kate Quinn
   Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) sorsha | May 6, 2024 |  There is a lot to unpack for a thorough review of this book. First, story. Based on real people (or composites) three women who want to serve their country are summoned to Bletchley Park. They begin the top secret work of code breaking. Friendships and love affairs are begun in a strained atmosphere of secrecy and the urgency of war. Some interesting themes -the effects of war on the lives of those living day to day, and also the immense stress of this type of work. Also, should loyalty to country override loyalty to friends and family? How long should secrets be kept, and to what extent? (  ) Chrissylou62 | Apr 11, 2024 | When socialite Oslo Kendall (whose character is crafted after the real Oslo Benning) begins her tour at BP alongside new friends Mab and Beth, life for the three women will be turned upside down and inside out as they cipher German messages to thwart the Axis' push through Europe, while finding new loves and learning to navigate a life of utter secrecy. Following a cavernous split, the three former friends must come together and lean into their skills one last time to crack the code known as Rose and bring a traitor to justice. A lot is going on in this book, but it is utterly and truly fascinating. I learned so much about code breaking, the former Prince Phillip of Greece (who then married Queen Elizabeth), and bits about the War years that I would reread the book to ensure I didn't miss something (and I'm not a re-reader). Add in the fact that The Rose Code is superbly researched, narrowly walks the fictional line, and is written by the incomparable, Kate Quinn - it is worth a once or twice read. If you are into historical fiction, especially WW2, take a crack at the Rose Code; you won't regret it.

HTML: "The hidden history of Bletchley Park has been waiting for a master storyteller like Kate Quinn to bring it to life. THE ROSE CODE effortlessly evokes the frantic, nervy, exuberant world of the Enigma codebreakers through the eyes of three extraordinary women who work in tireless secrecy to defeat the Nazis. Quinn's meticulous research and impeccable characterization shine through this gripping and beautifully executed novel." Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of HER LAST FLIGHT The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network returns with another heart-stopping World War II story of three female code breakers at Bletchley Park and the spy they must root out after the war is over. 1940. As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything—beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses—but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets. Imperious self-made Mab, product of east-end London poverty, works the legendary codebreaking machines as she conceals old wounds and looks for a socially advantageous husband. Both Osla and Mab are quick to see the potential in local village spinster Beth, whose shyness conceals a brilliant facility with puzzles, and soon Beth spreads her wings as one of the Park's few female cryptanalysts. But war, loss, and the impossible pressure of secrecy will tear the three apart. 1947. As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter—the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum. A mysterious traitor has emerged from the shadows of their Bletchley Park past, and now Osla, Mab, and Beth must resurrect their old alliance and crack one last code together. But each petal they remove from the rose code brings danger—and their true enemy—closer... .No library descriptions found. |
