Heather I. Rogers: I was a child during these years.in England. As a family we tried to live as normally as possible. Now I understand the whys and wherefore’s of some of the actions taken during this time. Those were frightening years but also exciting because of the American soldiers. Both my older sisters were American War brides. I am always thankful to be in America now. The book brought back some good and some bad memories

Janie U: I'd read the previous two historical novels by this author (based in the 20th century) and enjoyed them so I was looking forward to this book. As well as the usual good plot/style/characters the appeal of another Bletchley Park story is always attractive.
85 chapters and 621 pages - this really is a chunk of a book but I was expecting an easy read.
I was hooked in by the dedication "To the veterans of Bletchley - you changed the world" - that really does say it all.
We follow two young women arriving at Bletchley Park to start working in it's secret world and occasionally flip forward to 1947 where Princess Elizabeth is about to marry her Prince.
The historical setting gives the author scope to include may of the real characters of the time. Dilly Knox, in particular, has a major role in the book and seems to be portrayed well.
There are strong characters that are developed in a realistic way. I'm not convinced about the royal connection and that plot strand failed to convince me which was a disappointment.
Overall, it is an easy read with a balance of romance and history.
The book is too long though and there were times when my attention wandered, often...

Jude WrightJude Wright: As my followers know I'm really into my World War 2 novels this year, and when I saw The Rose Code, I just knew I had to buy it.

Now it is a HUGE book 600+ pages, but don't let that put you off and it, it is an immense and thrilling read.

Kate Quinn has obviously done a lot of research in writing The Rose Code, because the depictions of Blethcly Park and its team of cryptoanalysts and the women who worked there are totally realistic and the pages came alive in my mind whilst reading, rather like a movie.

I loved the three main characters of Osla, Mab and Berth and the story and plot that involves all three, is immersive. But the thing that stood out was the realism of the settings, from Bletchley Park to London to Coventry, it really is a marvellous read. And I must be going a bit soft in my old age because I adored the love story that flows with each character - and the addition of Prince Phillip, Queen Elizabeth's to-be husband was frankly amazing! I have to also admit at one stage to crying over characters and events that happened!

The Rose Code is a tremendous novel about courage, love, betrayal and of what it was like to live and work during WW2 as...
