Review
of Code Name Verity
We all have that
one person, that special someone: a best friend. In Code Name Verity, Elizabeth Wein explores the friendship of two
girls against the backdrop of World War II.
“Verity” is a noble
lady. Maddie is a commoner. Under normal circumstances, the two girls never
would have met. But this isn’t normal circumstances; this is war. Working in
the ATA, the girls are thrown together and eventually forge a strong bond. During
an assignment, however, they are fired upon and their plane crashes in
Nazi-occupied France. In the midst of the pain and terror that follows, Maddie
and “Verity” are kept alive by each other and their friendship…but ultimately,
only one of the girls will survive.
Told from the
point of view of both girls, Code Name
Verity is a heartbreaking novel of the power of friendship, loyalty, and
courage in times of trial.
