The beginning of the novel was promising as it described the situation, setting and deciphering the Enigma code. However, the novel turned mostly into a romance which I did not particularly find interesting. Harry particularly, writing in a journal to his dead mother could not move me. I thought the storyline would be more about the mathematicians who worked on the code and their flight away from occupied Poland. I definitely expected more than a romance!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I am leaving voluntarily an honest review.

The book is set in WWII and the efforts to break the Enigma Code. The story follows a woman and her journey and hardships during the war. It is a compelling story. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Thank you net galley for the advance reqde copy of this novel. I enjoyed reading about the polish cryptograhers so much! The writing style seemed stilted and almost child like in some ways. The courage and hope that prisoners in the camps gave to each other was a beautiful detail captured in this novel.
