Patricia and Jean Owtram are possibly the only living sisters to have signed the wartime Official Secrets Act.
Raised in a Lancashire country house in the 1920s, the family takes in two Austrian Jewish refugees, and the sisters quickly become fluent in German - which will go on to shape their roles for ever. Patricia is snapped up by the Wrens and posted to top-secret listening stations along the British coastline. Jean's quick brain for crossword solving lands her a secretive role as Code & Cipher Officer in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. PB, 304 Pages.
