If you love WWII fiction like I do you need to add author Amy Lynn Green books to your TBR pile.
Her newest release, The Codebreaker's Daughter is a dual POV between Dinah Kendall and her mother Lillian.
Dinah dreams of an espionage career. She's offered a position in Washington, DC with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) crafting rumors that undermine the Axis morale. She battles her conscience with the way she was raised and what she's asked to do at the OSS. She discovers her mother Lillian was a codebreaker during the Great War.
Lillian wrestles with the question of did she live up to her full potential and is she content with her life. Whether you're young or old, I think this is something we all struggle with. The author did an excellent job with this topic and the questions that come up when you're struggling with such a big life question.
I found the dual POV between Dinah and Lily fascinating. It added a layer of depth and authenticity to the story. Ms. Green expertly balances the mother/daughter relationship between Lillian and Dinah.
I'd rate The Codebreaker's Daughter a solid 4 1/2 stars out of 5. The ending was a little rushed and I felt like the author left it open ended. Perhaps we'll see more of Dinah and Lily. It did make me want to read more stories by Amy Lynn Green. Her stories have a beautiful lyrical cadence to them that make you feel like you the reader are in the story.
