| This book amazed me, because it's so detailed and yet the author managed to balance the technical aspects of codebreaking with the emotional story of three women. I think Quinn did an excellent job setting the scene and making a mathematical subject ...more | |

| I didn't realize this was a romance when I bought it. Unfortunately, I've only made it halfway through the book and I don't think I'll finish it. In a nutshell: it's a romance with a backstory of childhood cancer. Not my cup of tea. ...more | |
