The Rose Code: Novel

Kate Quinn, a master storyteller, finally brings the hidden history of Bletchley Park to life in her latest novel, The Rose Code. Through the eyes of three extraordinary women working in secrecy to defeat the Nazis, Quinn effortlessly captures the frantic, nervy, and exuberant world of the Enigma codebreakers. With meticulous research and impeccable characterization, Quinn delivers a gripping and beautifully executed novel that has been praised by Beatriz Williams, a New York Times best-selling author.

Returning with another heart-stopping World War II story, Quinn takes readers back to the year 1940 at Bletchley Park, where three very different women answer the call to break German military codes. Osla, a vivacious debutante seeking to prove herself beyond her societal status, uses her fluent German to translate decoded enemy secrets. Mab, a self-made woman from East End London, conceals old wounds as she operates the legendary codebreaking machines. Meanwhile, Beth, a shy village spinster with a brilliant talent for puzzles, becomes one of the Park's few female cryptanalysts. But as war, loss, and the pressure of secrecy mount, their friendship is tested.

Fast forward to 1947, when the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip reignites post-war Britain. Three friends-turned-enemies reunite when a mysterious encrypted letter resurfaces, leading them back to a betrayal that tore them apart. A traitor from their past at Bletchley Park emerges, forcing Osla, Mab, and Beth to join forces once again to crack one last code. However, with each code they decipher, they bring danger and their true enemy closer.

The Rose Code is a riveting tale of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of World War II and the aftermath. Quinn's storytelling prowess shines through as she explores the complexities of loyalty and sacrifice in a world ravaged by war.
