Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein

2/10/2017

0 Comments

 
  • Rose Justice is an American living in England during World War II.  She works as a pilot for the Air Transport Auxiliary, a civilian group helping with the war effort.
  • One day when Rose is ferrying a fighter plane from London to Paris, she gets captured by the Nazis and sent to Ravensbruck, a "work camp" that is really a concentration camp for women.
  • While at Ravensbruck, Rose meets an unforgettable group of women, including several who have been cruelly experimented upon by Nazi doctors.  To keep up her spirits and those of the women around her, Rose writes poetry and devises ways to fight back and escape death, which lurks around every corner.

This is a sequel or companion to Code Name Verity, which I thought was an amazing book;  this one is also very, very good.  If you like historical fiction or books about the Holocaust and WWII, then this one is for you.
