AnnaBnana's Reviews > Violins of Autumn

Adele--known by Betty in another life--is an American in Paris. She is a 16-year-old WWII spy for England--an American who had been living with her aunt and uncle in London, but ran away to be a part of the war effort. The book opens with Adele and Denise (a friend she met during training) dropping from a plane into the French countryside, where their adventure begins.

I enjoyed this book, but admittedly probably would have found it more awesome if I hadn't read Code Name Verity first. That said, I think it's a great option for anyone interested in this time historically, for anyone who wants a great female heroine, and a good friendship story. It's a superb option for readers who may not be quite ready for the intensity of the storytelling in Verity.
