Thank you , thank you, thank you Miss Sinclair for giving us another beautiful and insightful story about the wonderful women who did so much for Australia and her allies during WW2.

I knew a little about the women working as codebreakers in Australia, but it is definitely something we all need to learn more about

It is shameful that so much of what these amazing women did was hidden from us for so many years, whilst their male counterparts were showered with accolades. Every time I learn another story like this, it makes me so sad, and so mad for these pioneering women.

Ellie is dead set amazing. She is one of those women who paved the road for the women of today - and there were plenty of women out there like her. Strong, fiesty and with a heart of gold that sees the best in everyone, she takes us from WW2 to post war Australia and what it was like for the women who filled all those "manly positions".

We also follow the relationships throughout that period, and your heart will hurt at times as the story unfolds.

This is such a beautifully constructed tale that I did not want to put the book down when it was way past my bedtime on a worknight lol.

Ms Sinclair weaves a heartfelt, interesting and endearing story, and I can't wait to read more of her work in the future.
