Oh I used to read lots of these type of books, I devoured them. I then sent to other genres, I need to come back to these heartwarming sagas.

There was always something about wartime, pre war and post war stories where life was so different. Not because of the war and difficulties but people in general.

The girls in this book were varied in personalities, needs wants and aspirations but they had one thing in common. They loved and respected each other. They pulled tog.

Life “below stairs” reminded me so much of the British program Upstairs and downstairs.
Even close to Dowton Abbey.

Great story, fine writing.

really enjoyable read. shows what you can do when you try

There were a few mistakes, but other than that I enjoyed it.

I love this sort of story, based on modern history facts with real-life themes. Thrilling, beautifully written and, at times, heart breaking. Well worth a read.

The title is misleading because the main characters are not code girls.
Saying that this is still a nice, good feel story.
Well worth taking to the beach.

I absolutely loved this World War 2 saga. Its a brilliant story about the cooks and code girls at Walsingham Hall. The stars of the book are Maudie, Ava, Ruby and Bella. They are new friends who have the extremely difficult task of cooking with rations for the Walsingham Hall family and the code girls. The work is very tiring but over the years they all find time for romance. There is great drama with a few tears along the way.
