NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER Fiction Book Award, Saskatchewan Book Awards | Longlisted for the City of Toronto Book Awards | Toronto Star Bestseller | Globe and Mail Bestseller Imagine you have only a pencil, paper, and your puzzle-solving skills to help end the war Gemma Sullivan lands a coveted office job in the summer of 1943, only to discover that she's been hired to work in a top-secret codebreaking office in an unsuspecting house along the lake in Mimico, Ontario. The 'Cottage' - run by the brilliant, eccentric Miss Fearing, who was trained at England's Bletchley Park - pulls Gemma in with its urgent lure and mystery. But along with this job comes a lifelong oath of secrecy. Gem can't tell anyone what she does for work, not even her elderly Aunt Wren, who has raised her since the age of three after the tragic death of her parents.
