The Code Girls
Autor Daisy Stylesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2016
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 . . .

Notă biografică
Daisy
Stylesgrew
up
in
Lancashire
surrounded
by
a
family
and
community
of
strong
women
whose
tales
she
loved
to
listen
to.
It
was
from
these
women,
particularly
her
vibrant
mother
and
Irish
grandmother,
that
Daisy
learned
the
art
of
storytelling.
There
was
also
the
landscape
of
her
childhood
-
wide,
sweeping,
empty
moors
and
hills
that
ran
as
far
as
the
eye
could
see
-
which
was
a
perfect
backdrop
for
a
saga,
a
space
big
enough
and
wild
enough
to
stage
a
drama,
one
about
women's
lives
during
the
Second
World
War.
