This is an award-winning and bestselling tale of friendship and courage. Only in wartime could a stalwart lass from Manchester rub shoulders with a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a special operations executive. When 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've ever believed in is put to the test..."A remarkable book." (Daily Mail).
At first I didn’t know if I would enjoy this book, since I’m not really a historical fiction type of reader. However, I would recommend this book to EVERYONE!!! I absolutely loved the friendship between these two girls and the ending had me crying for the last 30 pages straight. I feel as if I missed the last part of the book because I couldn’t see in front of all the tears in my eyes!!!
