Rose Under Fire
Pablito says:
Follow up to Code Name Verity. In some ways I liked it even more then Code Name Verity because of the prison camp details-the suffering and yet the courage and spirit of the women involved. The prison camp narrative was difficult to read sometimes knowing that people did suffer in such hideous ways and yet were able to survive using their wits and comradery I loved reading about the effort that the women of the ATA pilots during WWII. It's a group that not much is written about yet ...played an important part in the war effort.The interspersed poetry in the story at first seemed odd to me, but as I read and realized the strength that it gave Rose and her fellow prisoners to survive, I grew to appreciate and be moved by it's words and significance. .

4.5 stars. while I really enjoyed this book, I did not enjoy it quite as much as code name verity. it was still a very good read though and makes me interested in looking up more information about the prisoners/rabbits of ravensbruck. it's so terrifying to think of how much of this book actually happened. rose and her story are fiction. but ravensbruck and the experiments they did were all very real. code name verity and rose under fire are both new favorites that i will recommend to any friend who is looking to read more WWII historical fiction.MoreLess
