Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Code Name Verity is a 2012 young adult historical novel by Elizabeth Wein set in 1943 Occupied France. Queenie, a British secret agent, has been captured and tortured into giving up the code sets to the wireless radios she was supposed to be transporting to the French Resistance when her plane crashed. Now, the commander of the prison where she has been held, SS-Haupsturmfuhrer Amadeus von Linden, wants her to write down every detail she can tell him about the British war effort. But Queenie has a rather different idea: she'll give up the details, but only by telling the story of her best friend, Maddie Brodatt, who was the one who flew her to France. And Queenie may not be telling the truth about everything she writes....Has a semi-sequel, Rose Under Fire, which ties into the events of the first book. The Pearl Thief is a prequel starring Queenie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Note: This story is full of many sudden plot twists, meaning spoilers may occur below.

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Elizabeth Wein in her afterword is quick to point out that, yes, both the SOE and the ATA were documented to have female agents and pilots in their employ during the Second World War, although very few of them, and she does admit that a female ATA pilot would almost certainly not be allowed to fly to France.

Anachronic Order: The confession quite deliberately explains its writer's current life in prison among its stories of the past. Then Maddie's story begins in her crashed plane, just after the end of the story Julie told, but over a month before the 'present day' when Julie finished her confession.

Berserk Button: The very Scottish Queenie is extremely offended whenever one of her captors refers to her as "English".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
