Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein

Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein - 368

This companion book to Code Name Verity tells the story of Rose Justice, an American serving as a British Air Transport Auxiliary pilot.  She comes to Britain in 1944, shorty after Code Name Verity ends and works with Maddie Brodartt.  Like Maddie and Julie, Rose finds herself forced down on a flight over continental Europe and, like Julie, she becomes a German prisoner.  She is sent to the Ravensbruck Concentration camp as a political prisoner.  While there, Rose faces many hardships but makes some new friends in the process.  Like with Code Name Verity, the main theme of the book is friendships and the relationships between people.  As for the descriptions of camp life, well, pick a non-fiction book for a full description; this just did not cut it compared to other titles I have read, both fiction and non-fiction.
