Code Name Verity
by Elizabeth Wein
This book is beautiful and shocking and clever. It will grip you from it's very first line. ("I am a coward.") It is set during World War II in Britain and is about a wartime relationship, but not a romance. It's a love story, but one about platonic love between two friends, not firework-y romantic love. Agape, not eros.
It is well-written, relentlessly researched (but in a pleasant way), and rigorouse well-plotted.
It is a rare gem of a book; one to be treasured.
Highest possible recommendation. (As in: I have just sent it as a gift to my best friend in the world.)
