Be prepared to laugh; be prepared to cry -- and, in general, be prepared to marvel at this exquisitely written book that will linger with you after the last page. It is labeled YA, but don't let that label stop you from reading this compelling story of a friendship between two young British women during WWII. One is a pilot; one is a spy. The spy has been captured in Nazi-occupied France and is writing a confession of her wartime activities in exchange for a stay of execution. The narration is unusual at first -- stick with it. In the end, the story will capture your attention and the characters will capture your heart.
Note: As another reviewer pointed out, the less you know about this book before reading, the better. Resist reading reviews or blurbs. Just read the book!!
