The Paper Birds

Gemma Sullivan lands a coveted office job in the summer of 1943, only to discover that she's been hired to work in a top-secret codebreaking office in an unsuspecting house along the lake in Mimico, Ontario. The 'Cottage' -- run by the brilliant, eccentric Miss Fearing, who was trained at England's Bletchley Park -- pulls Gemma in with its urgent lure and mystery. But along with this job comes a lifelong oath of secrecy.

The Cottage codebreaking unit is small but determined, but in order to be successful, they must learn to work together. But when Gem begins fraternizing with a handsome prisoner at a POW camp nearby - who later disappears - she risks losing everything.
