Description
**A heart-warming and inspiring story of incredible women on the home-front during World War II from the author of The Bomb Girls**
Can four girls protect a whole country?
It's 1941 and the country has been turned upside down. For the aristocratic Walsingham family this means being pushed unceremoniously upstairs while their grand home is taken over by the Army. But for newcomers Ava and Maudie this is a chance to get something more from life. They are at Walsingham Hall to become code girls and break German encryptions.
So being sent downstairs to work in the kitchens isn't exactly what they had in mind. But they do their duty, make new friends and soon even romance looks to be on the horizon. Though life is tough, it has never been more exciting.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Lord Walsingham is hiding something. And Maudie and the girls realize that the safety of their country might actually be in their hands after all . . .

Fantastic read, girls thrown together in the toughest of times becoming the best of friends throughout thick and thin, such a feel good story despite the seriousness off the war, so sad that it ended, cannot wait to read more by this author.

I really enjoyed Daisy Styles 'The Bomb Girls' so was overjoyed to find she had written another set in the same era. I have always been fascinated by Bletchley Park & the code breakers so I was a bit disappointed to find that this really didn't involved much code breaking for most of the book. It is because of that I did not feel able to give it five stars.
Nevertheless this is a really good story with interesting likable characters.. The era is captured very well and the action moves at an enjoyable pace. .
Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read & review this book.
