Summary
 Grace Webster sees the invisible architecture of language. Mathematics taught her to recognise patterns. War will teach her what they can cost. When the Second World War brings Grace to Bletchley Park, she discovers a name in the signal that only she could have found a betrayal that reaches back to the person who first taught her to see. The finding will be doubted, delayed, and finally buried under the Official Secrets Act, along with everything else she can never say. The war will end. The silence won't. Spanning eight decades, from a County Durham 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 The Imitation Game: a story of brilliance unthanked, and a message that waits eighty years to be read.©2026 Lorna Simes (P)2026 Lorna Simes
