This book is amazing!! Some parts are hard to read, but a lot of is true. Bletchley Park is a place in England where codebreaking was done during WWII - in a mansion and in huts outside on the grounds. They were sworn to secrecy in the beginning never to divulge information outside of their place of work. Many women were involved as well as men. Most of the women weren't looked on favorably, but some of them were as good as the men and some were better! Mab, Oz and Beth are the main characters and their stories are based on real people who worked there - in one capacity or another. Wonderful book and amazing to read. I can usually zip through a book in a couple days but I had to pause to reread to catch something I missed, take a breather and rest and take a break. Excellent!
