The Rose Code | Kate Quinn

pick

Three women worked at Bletchley Park breaking Nazi enigma codes during WWII, where they became friends and even started a book club! But the friendship is torn asunder because being were sworn to secrecy, they couldn‘t reveal what they learned in their jobs to prevent unspeakable tragedy. Worse yet, a traitor may have been in their midst jeopardizing one of their lives. The remaining disenchanted friends had to decide whether they should ⬇️

Soubhiville

Texreader believe the third former friend and try to identify the traitor. Beautiful back stories based on true events, this book reveals an extraordinary time and place. BP, as it was called, was amazingly tolerant—women were nearly equal to men in all but pay (of course) and “weirdos” were welcome! And one of the 3 friends was on the autism spectrum (although not explicitly expressed), playing a major part of the story. An excellent book! #authoramonth 11h

CatLass007 @ChaoticMissAdventures LIBBY says the wait time is about 26 weeks, which is at least ten weeks longer than it was last week. Unfortunately, I‘ve already maxed out my holds on LIBBY. I may have to bite the bullet in June and buy a copy. 13h

The Alice Network: A Novel | Kate Quinn

Treating myself and daughter to pedicures while we read our books. Busy weeks ahead of us as she finishes her undergraduate classes before graduation and work is going crazy for me. Son is still sound asleep from the long trek home from his university in northern Arizona for the summer.

#Read2025

I‘m catching up on my April reviews this weekend & I loved this book! A good thing as it was a trifecta of challenge prompts: #AuthorAMonth #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead & one of the books from @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. This is my third Kate Quinn book & maybe my favorite. The audiobook was stellar & I finished & listened to the author notes twice + an interview with the author & narrator who really brought the characters to life. ⬇️

Soubhiville, DieAReader, Librarybelle, monalyisha

DebinHawaii … I learned a lot about the Red Scare, McCarthy & Washington DC in the era. The mystery was good as was the ways the characters were introduced & their layers uncovered. I also enjoyed the sentient Briar House & the communal dinners with recipes & music selection of the times included. It kept me engrossed during lots of airport commutes in April & will likely be a favorite of the year for me. 2d

DieAReader 🎉🥳Awesome!! 2d

JacqMac Kaye Quinn never disappoints. 2d

Librarybelle Yay!! 2d
