I loved this! 😍😍 This tells the true stories of women who broke German, Japanese and Italian codes at Bletchley park during the second world war. The book covers all aspects of their lives their work, love life, accomondation, education, backgrounds, family life, society, secrecy and the ultimate fame in their old age. It is not a boring history book but a lively memoir and vivid picture of women's lives during WWll.

Participating in #20in4 #readathon with these two. I won't have much time to read so I won't make it to the full 20 hours but I'm still going to try to get as much reading time as I can this weekend! 😁📚

#Septembowie #Heroes Here are some books that I've read or listened to (The Radium Girls & The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks), started & need to finish (Hidden Figures, Rise of the Rocket Girls) or are loaded & sitting in my Kindle #TBR stack (Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy & The Bletchley Girls) about real-life women who are heroes. ❤️

Megabooks Great choices! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk There's a great TV show on Netflix called The Bletchley Circle about former Bletchley girls turning their skills to mystery solving after the war. 7y
