What a fabulous book. Flipping between two world wars, a mother and daughter are both pulled into secret government work, including code breaking. Both wars were fought on many fronts, behind the scenes very intensely as well. Taking place before the invasion of Normandy in WW2, Dinah doesn't find her job so exciting at first as she is asked to create rumors and deceptions, until she is caught in the middle of espionage, which involved her back before she went to Washington. Unbeknownst to her, her family and their friends were some of the original and most complicated cipher creators and breakers in the first World War. Family secrets and deep feelings are an undercurrent, with friction between her and her mother, yet they need each other more than they realize. Intense at times, it's very difficult to put down. Very realistically told, based on many historical facts. Fascinating to see behind the curtain and visualize it all. Makes you hold your breath the whole last part.

I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
