The Rose Code
by Kate Quinn, 2021, Audiobook narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, Harper Audio
We listened to this audiobook on our way from Rhode Island to Florida this year. It is an interesting story about three young women who were recruited during WWII to work at Blechley Hall in England as code analysts. They deciphered the interecepted German and Italian code which was then fed into the Enigma and Bombe machines to do the final decoding.
The book brought the story of Blechley Hall to my attention and the role it played in defeating the Axis. The story in the book includes many historical facts but I was left wondering how much of the intrigue actually occurred and how much was fiction. I will probably never know, but I am a bit curious.
The book does contain a bit of “fluff”, especially in the earlier chapters, but it became much more suspenseful as it unfolded. The narrator did an excellent job portraying the various characters and their emotions.
