I enjoyed this book. The early biography information is very detailed and should have been boring but it wasn’t. Author Jan Slimming tells a great story about her mother. I was impressed by Slimming’s authenticity as she neither placed anyone on a pedestal nor dragged anyone through the mud. Nor was Slimming maudlin. I actually had to double-check that Slimming was the protagonist’s daughter. The only downside of the book is that at times the description of the activities at Bletchley Park is hard to follow, but this could also be due to the complexity of the operation. Overall this is a good read for anyone interested in history.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary advance reader copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.
