Rose Under FireRose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Code Name Verity is still my favorite of the two, but this novel was excellent. Rose Justice is a non-combat pilot who is captured during a plane delivery and imprisoned in a women's concentration camp. The story is told primarily in Rose's journal after the fact and has the feeling of a memoir. More than once, I was reminded of Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. Wein has written another powerful story about a brave and resourceful young woman. Highly recommended.
