Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  jbarr5 | Feb 21, 2020 |   Charity's Code is third in the exciting Virtue and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. In this novella, Dorothy, later codenamed Charity, becomes involved in the war effort initially through her quick crossword puzzle solving skills. When Dorothy's husband is captured by the Nazis and held behind enemy lines, he writes encoded messages to his wife. When the Allies discover Dorothy's propensity for deciphering code, they sign her on to be part of a 7 lady spy team. Dorothy, or Charity, as she becomes called, transmits code to an operator in occupied France, as well as sending encrypted messages and decoding others from her husband to help the War effort. In this episode, we are also introduced to the other members of the team, and given a little background on each. In some aspects, this novella served as a prequel/catch-me-up for more action to come. The amount of research that Hallee puts into these books and then shares in the back is incredible. I could read the books for the appendices alone!! I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review. (  ) Becky_L | Mar 31, 2015 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

DORTHY EWING never met a crossword puzzle that she couldnâ??t solve with shocking speed. As a loving wife and mother of three children, she had an idyllic life with her home and her puzzles â?? until she had to see her husband off to war. Then the bombing of the Blitz began. Now her husband Tom is a POW in Occupied France, her children have been sent to the hopeful safety of her parentsâ?? home in York, and she is working at Bletchley Park as an assistant to cryptanalysts. After cracking the code on an encrypted letter from her husband, she is recruited into a special team called The Virtues. She works on the home-front, receiving and sending messages to her team in France and coordinating a secret mission with her husband via coded letters. She intercepts the transmission from TEMPERANCE alerting to her blown cover. The clock is ticking in a race to save Temperanceâ??s life. Information has to be sent to and received from the team on the ground. Can Charity help save her, or will the constraints of time and the efficiency of the Third Reich work against them? Charity's Code is part three of eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series. Seven valorous women â?? different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds â?? come together as a team called the Virtues. In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtuesâ?? radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear. Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price. Continuing the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ulti Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Starts with dedication page and then prologue.
Love how women get names other than their own depicting the work ethics they do.
Attributes of the name given start the story. We find Dorothy and she's sending Tom her husband off to the war.
Their children will live at her parents while she serves in her own way. She realizes she loves puzzles and can solve them extremely fast and accurately, just what the organization needs.
Love how she is able to also send along coded messages to the POW's that she hopes along with others to gain freedom soon.
Her perception of turmoil is right on as there's just a handful of people left at the dining room. Many have been sent to do their jobs using the expertise they possess.
Lot of women are at the camp and there are rules-no personal information is allowed.
Sounds to me like they are the ones imprisoned during war times.
