![]() ![]() ![]() It took me a very, very long time to get into the first half of the book, and there were times when I considered giving up on it completely – mainly because I struggled to follow what was going on, and was confused by all the coded abbreviations, plane jargon, jumping between different time periods, and rambling writing style. Needless to say, this makes for quite grim reading at times, and my initial feelings about the book were mixed, to say the least. While being held prisoner of war in northern France, and forced to regurgitate everything she knows about the British war effort in return for her life, Julie pours out her story, flitting between her horrific experiences in the prison and her memories of her developing friendship with Maddie. After a daring mission into German-occupied France goes disastrously wrong, the two best friends are separated, and it is at this point that the story begins. ![]()
