'Two young women become unlikely friends during WWII...but then a vital mission goes wrong and one of the friends has to bail out of a faulty plane over France. She is captured by the Gestapo and becomes a prisoner of war. The story begins in 'Verity's' own words, as she writes her account for her captors. Truth or lies? Honour or betrayal? Everything they have ever believed is put to the test.'
This was a recommended read and I am really glad that I chanced upon it. It is almost written in two halves and the first half is fantastic...but the second half weaves all of the story threads together and was just wonderful! I think that the thing that I liked the most is that the characters were incredibly real, they loved lipstick, boys, gossiping but they were also incredibly brave and intelligent. It will keep you guessing till the end and I'd be suprised if you didn't shed a few tears along the way. A fantastic read!
