Description In the shadows Of An Enigma by Alex Rosenberg
The greatest undisclosed secret of the war haunts the lives of 4 people across three continents and 15 years.
In this standalone sequel to The Girl From Krakow, the greatest undisclosed secret of the Second World War haunts the lives of four people across three continents and fifteen years.
The only Second World War secret not revealed soon thereafter was that the Allies had broken the German Enigma codes. This secret was kept for 30 years after the war. In the Shadows of Enigma is a 15 year-long narrative of how knowing the secret changed the lives of four people: Rita Feuerstahl, who learned that the German Enigma had been deciphered by the Poles just before she escaped a Polish ghetto, Gil Romero, her prewar lover whom Rita marries after the war, Stefan Sajac, the infant son Rita had smuggled out of the ghetto and lost track of, and Otto Schulke, the German Gestapo detective who apprehended Rita during the war and suspected that she knew the secret of the Enigma’s decoding.
Praise In the shadows Of An Enigma by Alex Rosenberg
I’d read The Girl from Krakow so was looking forward to reading another of Rosenberg’s book with eager anticipation and I was not disappointed. Firstly, the quality of the writing style was reliably exquisite and I enjoyed reading the words, as much as the story. The story itself was a fascinating insight into the unique challenges of life in post-war Germany There is a theme of leaving, sacrifice and returning that is woven through the novel. I was gripped from beginning to — Kate Kennett ― Netgalley
I just loved this beautifully written story which gives a fascinating insight in the lives of people in those difficult times after the war……… — Jannelies Smit ― Netgalley
A brilliant novel with a seamless blend of fact and fiction. I found the novel compulsive reading and a ‘sit on the edge of your seat’ ending. For those who enjoy espionage thrillers, this should certainly be amongst those at the top of their reading list. I loved it. — Jill Walker – Netgalley

Captivating, intriguing and fascinating. I love World War 2 novels and this is a unique mystery which sounds unforgettable and a real treasure.
This book sounds like cracker of code-breaking thriller!
The whole story of the enigma machine is fascinating! My great-aunt was a novice in Krakow during and after the war. When the communists took over the land of the nunnery and forbade the sisters to work in hospitals, she left and came to Canada. Her brother, older sister and husband were part of the Polish Free Army.
I distinctly remember the first time I saw an enigma machine in a museum and was transfixed by it so I got yelled at to keep up with the group.
Sounds like a fascinating story about the code. Thanks for the giveaway.
