nickipettitt 's review for:
The Enigma Game
by Elizabeth Wein
I absolutely loved Code Name Verity and have bought it as gifts for more people than I can remember. I was so excited to get the opportunity to read and review #TheEnigmaGame (Thank you to the author Elizabeth Wein, the publishers and the wonderful #NetGalley)
Wein has continued her flair for plucky interesting female characters, impeccable research and knowledge of WW2, and clever plot in this lovely book. I love the fact that I can wholeheartedly recommend her books to my parents, my husband and my kids, and this one didn't disappoint.
Set mostly in north east Scotland in 1941/2 this evoked a sense of place as well as time. It felt authentic but didn't clog up the story line and characters with the stating of unnecessary facts. I very much enjoyed losing myself in the era and in the cold stark landscapes. I highly recommend this and I am glad to have a large chunk of my Christmas list sorted. (Yes, I like to plan early!)
