Description
一架飛機迫降在納粹德國的法國據地
兩個女孩——飛行員與乘客——是最好的朋友
她們之中,一個人有機會活下去,另一個人,則在遊戲尚未開始前就注定一敗塗地。
薇芮蒂被蓋世太保逮捕當下,就已確信自己毫無勝算。身為在敵方領地被捉拿的秘密特務,她過的生活恰恰是間諜最可怕的夢魘及最無法忍受的殘忍現實。她只有一個簡單的選擇:揭露任務,或接受駭人的處決。
他們會嘗試從她口中挖掘真相,然而,真相可能超乎他們最初的想像。
在自白的同時,薇芮蒂揭露自己過往的人生——她如何與飛行員瑪蒂結為好友,以及為何把瑪蒂留在毀損機身中、獨自孤軍奮戰的原因。每頁筆記上都有她為生命奮鬥的痕跡,訴說她對於勇氣、失敗、雖已近乎絕望但仍期盼歸鄉的堅強意念。
然而,交換秘密是否足以拯救自己,讓她從心狠手辣、殘酷無情的敵人手中存活下來?

View AllI read so many novels about WWII when I was in high school and college, I actively avoid them now. However, I made an exception for this novel, and I am so glad that I did. I loved this novel. I'm a sucker for epistolary stories, and this novel made wonderful use of the form, creating intimacy with the main characters, building suspense and conveying real emotion. I finished the second half in a single sitting (well into the early morning), and cried through the last 3 or 4 chapters. I truly felt the power of Queenie and Maddie's friendship in the midst of the war's deprivations and struggles.
