Read: Elizabeth Wein - Code Name Verity

Great review in the Toronto Star. Sounds like a mash-up of Connie Willis' WWII novels and Diana Gabaldon's historic adventures.

Update: read, twice. The style/language is initially a bit jarring, seems anachronistically crude/contemporary. But the power of the plot eventually kicks in, and it made me cry both times at the critical moment.
