Grace Webster sees the invisible architecture of language. Mathematics taught her to recognise patterns. War will teach her what they can cost.
In 1940 the war takes Grace from a County Durham pit village to Bletchley Park, where she is handed signals to translate and told nothing about what they mean. Then she finds something in the traffic that she cannot unsee, and that the men above her would rather she had not found.
The war will end. The silence won't.
Spanning nearly a century, from that pit village to lockdown London, The Translation Engine is a novel about codes and the women who broke them, and about what it costs to carry a secret through a marriage, a family, a lifetime. For readers of The Rose Code and admirers of The Imitation Game: a story of brilliance unthanked.
