About this listen
Code Name Verity is a compelling, emotionally rich story with universal themes of friendship and loyalty, heroism and bravery. Two young women from totally different backgrounds are thrown together during World War II: one a working-class girl from Manchester, the other a Scottish aristocrat, one a pilot, the other a wireless operator. Yet whenever their paths cross, they complement each other perfectly and before long become devoted friends. But then a vital mission goes wrong, and one of the friends has to bail out of a faulty plane over France. She is captured by the Gestapo and becomes a prisoner of war. The story begins in Verity's own words, as she writes her account for her captors.

An OK read
This fictional story of WW II fails to capture / immerse into the overall sentiment/atmosphere of the war. It ends up just being a personalized account of one war effort from the eyes of 2 protagonists. Also, as the leads are similar in background, their narrative doesn't give very different perspective. I also felt that the first half was a bit incongruent, probably to show the first protagonist's way of deflecting in interrogation. But due to that, it failed to generate interest / connect with the story / characters.
