Code Name Verity

Two young women – a pilot and a spy – become unlikely best friends during World War II. Only in wartime could a stalwart lass from Manchester rub shoulders with a Scottish aristocrat. Yet whenever their paths cross they complement each other perfectly, and before long they are devoted friends. Until a vital mission goes terribly wrong… When 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. This story begins in “Verity’s” own words, as she writes her account for her captors. Truth or lies? Honour or betrayal? Everything the friends believe in will be put to the test…
