A review by bibliophage
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
“He has been chewing over this idea that I can ‘buy’ time in exchange for bits of my soul and he wondered if I likened myself to Faust. Nothing like an arcane literary debate with your tyrannical master while you pass the time leading to your execution.”
Two best friends, a pilot and a spy, crash in France in 1943—that’s all I can share. The writing in this book is *exceptional.* It is so hard to craft a story like Wein has done, and then to infuse it with brilliant characters and witty language—it’s so well done.
