Inhaltsangabe

“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 best-selling author of Her Last Flight)

The New York Times and USA Today best-selling 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.

The year 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.

The year 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....

Absolutely Fascinating

Another wonderful novel by Kate Quinn about the accomplishments of extraordinary and brave people during war times. I already listened to "The Alice Network" and "The Huntress", which were just as gripping as this one here.

Being German myself, the very first time I ever learned about Bletchley Park or "BP" was a few years back through the tv series "The Bletchley Circle", which absolutely fascinated me.

So surely I had to listen to this novel about Mab, Osla and Beth, the three very different young women, who became close friends through their secret work at Bletchley Park.

The story is never boring for a single minute, also thanks of course to the wonderful reading of Saskia Maarleveld, who has easily become one of my favorite English speaking narrators, next to Sneha Mathan.

I very highly recommend this novel to anyone, who is interested in WWII in general, and the work of all those genius people, who worked at Bletchley Park, the place of so many legends.

I do hope that I will get a chance to travel to England and pay "BP" a visit one day, and be able to look at the real place, where so much was accomplished, that it allegedly shortened the war by at least 2 years. Chapeau to each and everyone who was a part of that legendary place!
