so-soI picked this up as it is a kind of oral history by Mair Russell-Jones about her life including her time at Bletchley Park with background and context provided by her son.
I was fascinated with Bletchley Park, but less enthusiastic about Mair herself who felt increasingly judgmental and at times unpleasant. I respect her convictions and her work, but found I didn't want to spend much page time with her.
pickWorth reading if you're interested in the codebreakers of Bletchley Park, especially the women. I also loved that Mair was Welsh. This book is written by her son Gethin, with abundant quotes from Mair.
I'm out of town this weekend so had to prepare my monthly TBR shot in a slightly different way. I have so many library books out that they won't all fit on my shelf. The three in the bottom corner are due sooner, so I need to read them first. On the shelf I really want to read this memoir of a WW2 codebreaker at Bletchley Park.
