The Enigmas - A Novel

A mesmerizing novel about mothers and daughters who share an ability to move through time, set against the backdrop of wartime London, from the author of the runaway New York Times bestseller Weyward. London, 1940: Twenty-nine-year-old Beatrice Bone knows that she’s considered eccentric. With her love of Victorian jewelry and Gothic stories, she’s well on her way to becoming society’s most pitied woman: a spinster. The one person who has always understood her is Clemmie, her younger sister, who is off contributing to the war effort while Beatrice still sleeps in her childhood bedroom. But when Clemmie dies in a fire while undertaking mysterious work for the Foreign Office, all that Beatrice has left of her is an antique pocket watch, her sister’s final birthday gift. When she discovers that it also acts as a portal, enabling her to return to any moment that she personally can remember, Beatrice resolves to go back in time, to find work at Bletchley Park and save Clemmie.
