So I recommend readers give the book the time and space it needs to blossom, just as you would give water to a rose in a vase, the story will unfold with fullness of bloom, scent, and colors that will not disappoint. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn By Vicki Weisfeld 22 March, 2021 3 Mins r0 Kate Quinn’s engrossing new espionage thriller takes place in two time periods. Although I guessed accurately where it was headed in the end I don’t hold it against the story because we really do want to cheer the heroines on to the finish. An inspiring representation of young women answering the call to serve and of their determination to not be undermined by demeaning cultural norms. Very enjoyable romp through the secretive, behind the scenes work of WWII intelligence workers and the dedication and sacrifices required to gain the advantage over the Nazis. At about page 180 I picked up speed, which coincided with a blustery & gray spring Saturday when I had the house to myself. Osla is a society girl known to step out with Prince Philip of Greece, who has professed his love for her, but she longs to prove that she’s more than just a pretty face.
Through their friendship, these women find the strength to survive war, loss, heartbreak, and the impossible pressure of secrecy.I was also limping through the first part of the book, although since I started reading this at the time of Prince Phillip’s death the intersection of timing kept me coming back. The Rose Code Book Summary In 1940, three very different young women begin working for England’s war effort, not realizing just how life-changing their experiences will be. Quinn’s meticulous research and impeccable characterization shine through this gripping and beautifully executed novel. As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to a mysterious country estate, Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. THE ROSE CODE effortlessly evokes the frantic, nervy, exuberant world of the Enigma codebreakers through the eyes of three extraordinary women who work in tireless secrecy to defeat the Nazis. The book, which was published by William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins earlier this month and which Black Bear Television won in a competitive situation, tells the World War II story of three female codebreakers at Bletchley Park. The company’s television division has optioned the rights to Kate Quinn’s novel The Rose Code and is developing it as a scripted TV series.
Exclusive: Black Bear Pictures, the team behind Benedict Cumberbatch feature film The Imitation Game, is heading back to Bletchley Park – this time for the small screen.
