THE CODEBREAKER GIRL

MY THOUGHTS:

France, 1932; the Enigma code must be cracked and Beata must make it to Bletchley Park, that is her mission.  Beata was an orphan and the first and only woman to graduate from her university course.  Beata joins the Cipher Bureau and must solve the Enigma Code in order to save her country from being invaded.  As the Nazis close in on the town, Beata and her team have to now work in secret.  She knows that the survival thousands of people rests on her shoulders.  Beata meets underground with British Intelligence agents. Beata is running out of time, she has no other choice but to solve the Enigma Code and reunite with the British Codebreakers in Bletchley Park.

The Codebreaker Girl, written by author Gosia Nealon is a phenomenal story of those that risked their lives to save others.  I learned so much from this book and it kept me enthralled and flying through the pages.  I was shocked by Beata’s  intelligence and her compassion and determination to solve the code in order to save lives was inspiring.  The fact that this book is based on true events made it completely unputdownable.  One of the most touching parts of the book is the author’s acknowledgment at the end, it made my heart happy to read about those in her life that have touched her heart.  Nealon writes well beyond her years and that has made Nealon an auto buy author for me.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every book she has written and I look forward to reading many more of her stories. Do not pass up this phenomenal and inspiring treasure, I highly recommend this ten star read.

1930s, Poland. We hold our breath as the gears turn, waiting to see if years of work have paid off. The operator looks at me with tears in his eyes. He nods his head. We’ve done it. The code has been broken. But with war brewing, will it be enough to save us?

After graduating as the first and only woman on her university course, orphan Beatais set on joining the Polish Cipher Bureau. She’s determined to save her country from invasion by cracking the Enigma code. But, as the Germans close in, Beata and her team need help…

Meeting with British Intelligence, Beata passionately describes her work: and catches the bright, sparkling eyes of one of the agents, Harry. His excitement about her efforts with Enigma and how vital it is for all their futures makes her more determined than ever to do what’s right.

But those stolen moments might be their last. Any hope of preventing war is dashed as gunfire rings across the rooftops and boots sound on the cobblestones. The Nazis have made it to the city. Beata and Harry must flee.

With their duties tearing them in different directions, their only hope is to reunite at the home of British codebreakers, Bletchley Park. But carrying the final key to the Enigma code, and with the Nazis close on her tail, can Beata keep the secrets she holds safe and turn the tide of the war? And will she ever see Harry again?

ABOUT GOSIA NEALON

While Gosia Nealon is a proud New Yorker, she was born and raised in Poland. Her journey to the Big Apple revealed a wealth of cultural differences, but also the values that connect us all. Like the fierce desire to protect family, find love, and ultimately, discover who we are and why we’re here. 

Gosia’s award-winning short stories have always delved into life’s biggest questions, but it was the drama, sacrifice, and tragedy of WWII that led her to pen her debut novel, which won a gold medal in the 2022 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY).  Growing up in Poland, Gosia heard many firsthand accounts of the war, told from a perspective rarely captured in mainstream literature. She was compelled to breathe life into two young people falling in love in the midst of the most terrifying conflict of our time. When Gosia isn’t tapping away at her laptop, she’s often walking the streets of New York. With her husband and two young sons in tow, they search for the most succulent pierogi, transporting them back to the cobbled streets of her childhood.
