Women in World War II

27th March, 2pm

During World War Two, many women had roles outside the home, from Land Girls and codebreakers to mechanics and Lumberjills.

In this lively and interactive illustrated talk, authors Catherine Curzon and Helen Barrell delve into the experiences of women away from the domestic front, including Yorkshire women who made an invaluable contribution to the war effort.

1944. Rosie Sinclair is full of pride to be doing her bit for the war effort as a driver at Cottisbourne Park – the secret heart of Britain’s fight against Germany, where a team of brilliant and eccentric codebreakers are battling to save the country.

But when she’s given a new mission to drive Major-General ‘Bluff’ Kingsley-Flynn down to Cottisbourne, Rosie finds herself on the frontline of a new battle – to uncover a possible spy at the Park who is jeopardising their vital work, and to resist her own growing attraction to the dashing Bluff himself…

As the threat to her fellow codebreaker girls grows ever stronger, Rosie realises her country needs her more than ever. Can she save the day without losing her heart?

A heartwarming, funny and utterly charming World War II saga, perfect for fans of Kate Hewitt, Jenny Holmes and Annie Murray.
