A heart-warming and inspiring tale of three incredible women on the home front during the Second World War

It's 1941 and the country has been turned upside down. For the aristocratic Walsingham family this means being pushed unceremoniously into the upstairs floors of their grand home as it is taken over by the armed forces. But for newcomers Ava, Maudie and Bella, this is a chance for something more.

The girls move into Walsingham Hall, each ready and willing to do their part for the war effort, and soon become firm friends. But Lord Edward Walsingham seems like he is hiding something sinister. And although he may be clever, he might have met his match in Maudie and the girls . . .

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.

Reviews for The Code Girls

Praise for Daisy Styles * - * Feisty young women, a country house in wartime and a scheming aristocrat - all ingredients for a cracking story with truly endearing characters -- Annie Murray, bestselling author of * Now The War Is Over * A great read that I think will appeal to fans of wartime sagas and authors like Donna Douglas . . . From dances to disasters, encounters with handsome Yanks, rationing and relationships, The Bomb Girls has all the ingredients of an excellent wartime drama and I thoroughly enjoyed it! * Onemorepage.com * The story is full of drama, love, heartbreak, friendship and in some part some comedy . . . It's full of twist and turns and is a real page turner * Laurahbookblog *
