On September 3, we’re diving into The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, where three very different women become codebreakers at Bletchley Park and discover that some secrets are harder to crack than others.

Come for the book. Stay for the conversation. Bring your theories. We’ll provide the coffee, treats, and fellow readers.

Copies of the book are provided by Friends of Duncan Library. Become a Friend today and help keep great library programs going: friendsofduncanlibrary.org
