Publisher's summary

1943, Bletchley Park: In the dark of night, my heart is pumping with adrenalin as I wait for news of the secret agent operating under the code name Elodie. She has a dangerous part to play in the Normandy landings and so many lives are at stake. But I couldn’t bear to lose her….

Inspired by the brave women of Bletchley Park, this is a totally gripping World War Two novel of friendship, heartbreak and hope. Perfect for fans of The Rose Code, The Alice Network, and The Nightingale.

Valerie Rousseau is burning with determination to help free her beloved France from the Nazi regime. Working at the mysterious Bletchley Park, she strikes up an unexpected bond with smart, fiercely loyal Fran Morgan as they spend long days together with their heads bent over maps of France in preparation for the Allied invasion.

Their friendship grows increasingly important as they distract themselves from the dark days of war with afternoons skating across the icy pond at the heart of Bletchley Park and evenings talking late into the night. But Valerie’s wartime role is shrouded in secrecy and there are things that she can’t even tell Fran.

When Valerie volunteers for a dangerous mission linked to the D-Day landings in Normandy, Fran is devastated. Valerie has knowingly put her life on the line and Fran is terrified that she will never see her again.

Soon, Fran hears about the bravery of the agent operating under the code name Elodie. She’s certain it’s Valerie and she knows the work she is doing in her little office, overlooking the green fields of England, could be the difference between life and death for this secret agent….

Can both women secure victory for their country? Or will the fight for freedom cost them their love–and their lives?

Frank description

I didn’t like the strong description of Frances and Valorie. But the rest of the story was very informative and interesting

The work done by women in the war

Anna Stuart is a great researcher when it comes to her stories. I’m impressed and will continue to read her other books.

Unrealistic and dry

I've loved Anna Stuart in the past, but this one was just too much for me. I'd love it if more women had been part of WW2 history, but in this series she's inserted women into places they just realistically wouldn't (and couldn't, as the case was in this novel) have been. You can't smash 21st century women into a 20th century story and expect it to be believable, or even capture people's attention without constant eyerolling. I had to return this book just under halfway through...it was just getting ridiculous and we hadn't even gotten to the Elodie portion yet. I couldn't hang on for it.
