“I am a coward.”
So begins Code Name Verity, set in France in 1943. A Scottish spy is being held by the Gestapo. To save herself from torture, she has agreed to confess everything she knows about the British war effort. This is her confession, a story of bravery and cowardice, secrets and lies, bombs and airplanes. But it is also a story of friendship: everything the spy knows about the war effort is entangled in the story of her friendship with Maddie, an English commoner and war pilot. Will the spy’s words keep her safe or will they be used against her and the entire Allied Forces?
