Rose Under Fire | Elizabeth Wein
28 posts | 66 read | 53 to read
The thrilling story of one young ATA pilots unforgettable journey through World War Two. This is Rose Under Fire. Rose Justice is a young American ATA pilot, delivering planes and taxiing pilots for the RAF in the UK during the summer of 1944. A budding poet who feels most alive while flying, she discovers that not all battles are fought in the air. An unforgettable journey from innocence to experience from the author of the best-selling, multi-award-nominated Code Name Verity. From the exhilaration of being the youngest pilot in the British air transport auxiliary, to the aftermath of surviving the notorious Ravensbruck womens concentration camp, Roses story is one of courage in the face of adversity. Elizabeth Wein is fast growing into one of the most important names in historical books for young adults. In this, her second book for Egmont Press, she explores a World War 2 story of great significance and harrowing consequences. Something made more haunting by the backdrop of the real-life events of Nazi Germany. Praise for Code Name Verity: It does more than stick with me. It haunts me. I just cant recommend it enough Maggie Stiefvater, bestselling author of Shiver I was bereft when I finished it Jill Mansell Its about friendship and bravery, loyalty and love, and will most definitely leave you sobbing The Bookseller This is a remarkable book Daily Mail

There aren't as many quotes from this one that stick in my brain like there are in CNV, but that's not actually a complaint. Rose's story is just so solid, mixing the horrors and the humor perfectly, and telling a part of history that doesn't see the spotlight as much. An excellent expansion from the original book! #reread #yalit #yahistoricalfiction

Rose is a transport pilot for the ATA when she is forced to land in Germany and taken to Ravensbrück. Told primarily as her diary entries, this book is wholly engrossing. By only tiny quibble is an unnecessary overuse of italics for emphasis in this otherwise superb read.

Bookzombie It makes me happy to see this in my feed. I read it in 2014 and loved it. There are a few other related books, but I have only read one other 2y
Hooked_on_books @Bookzombie I read Code Name Verity as well, and it is so good! It‘s why I picked this one up in the first place. I will definitely be looking for more of these books. 2y
Aimeesue I really like Code Name Verity, but I haven‘t gotten to this one yet. Nice review! 2y

I don't know why I thought this book would be less painful than CNV. I wish it had gone on slightly longer at the end, but God, this has one of the most affecting rendition of life at the camps I've ever read. #historicalfiction

368 pages. 2 days. I could not put this book down. Code Name Verity was amazing, but Rose Under Fire was incredible. 10 out of 10 would read again.

lahousewyfe Loved it! Cried so hard while smiling. Elizabeth Wein does that so masterfully. 5y

Any Littens (that's what we're calling ourselves right?) read Code Name Verity AND Rose Under Fire? I haven't read Code Name Verity and I'm trying to decide if I should stop reading Rose now (I'm only 55 pages in) and read Verity first. Through the reviews I've read, this book references a character from the other throughout it. I'd hate for this book to be a less meaningful experience if I read it first. Help! Anyone?!

Andrea313 @StayCurious It's a good one! It's the old Barnes & Noble collector's edition and I believe you can still find it on Amazon. 5y

Wein has such beautiful writing and makes a difficult time period and subject both digestible and accurate while also making it an amazing story to read. This book didn't gut me the way Code Name Verity did (simply because of what happens to characters) but it's an incredibly solid companion book. At first I wasn't sure if Code Name Verity needed a companion but now...I'm thankful it did.

Spring Cleaning/Moving. These lovely 38 books will be going back to the library rather soon. I have a huge bag that I am already taking back tomorrow. I am rather small so it will take a few trips to return everything.

So I finally finished this one and I feel like it has taken me forever! I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it though. I enjoyed the writing, and of course we all know the Holocaust is gut wrenching and tragic.. But it wasn't anything at all like the first book and I just didn't feel any "connection" with the characters. I guess I'd give it a 3.5? 4? Idk?!

In keeping with today's #SignedSundays theme, I also have personalized copies of Rose Under Fire, the companion novel to Code Name Verity. The first was generously sent by the author herself and the second was a surprise gift from the very thoughtful @Bunbury (bookish friends are the best).

I loved Code Name Verity and was so pleased to see there was more to the story. I listened to the audio version and it was phenomenal. It wasn't the easiest story to listen to - but as Rose's fellow Ravensbruck prisoners say - tell the world. It's an important story that is so well told by Elizabeth Wein.

I didn't think I'd have anything on my shelves for the #planestrainsautomobiles challenge, but it's amazing what you find on your shelves. Sorry that Anna Karenina is a little morbid... #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading

saresmoore @ferskner Alas, yes. But I also have two children and a cat, so I suppose it's to be expected. 8y

While I wait for my copy of The Forgetting to arrive, I'll read this one. Goodbye, emotional wellbeing. Between empire of storms and this, I'm sure I'll be a blubbering mess for a month.

This was really eye opening to lots of horrific things that were going on during WW2 that not everyone knows about. It was really good, but in terms of plot it was predictable. Saying that, I would still recommend it.

Good follow up to Wein's Code Name Verity. The story of Rose and her "family" at the Ravensbruck concentration camp is very moving. I appreciate the research Wein put into the book and I'm glad she's continuing the work of telling the world what happened.

This one didn't hold up for me quite as well as Code Name Verity. Still a good read, but it didn't keep my interest as intensely.

If you've read Code Name Verity you MUST read this book. Just as outstanding as her first one.
