ewein2412finished Code Name Verity this weekend. Am a bit of an emotional wreck. As the paternal interrogator says to the girl pilot at the end, "Not quite out of the trenches yet, are we?"
I love this poster--I remember being fascinated with it hanging in a pub in Marlow (I think it was an original there) back in the mid-90s. I have had a postcard of it stuck on my fridge for the last three months or so. I know that the implication is that the girl could be working for the enemy, but the men talking over her head are just so much bigger and more powerful-looking than she is that all my sympathies are with the girl, always.
Thank you, o flist, for being so encouraging during the writing of this book, despite the fact that I never tell you ANYTHING about what's actually going on. There is a kind of unofficial Official Secrets Act attached to unpublished books, you know? But also, I don't like to get people all excited about stuff that's still years away from publication.
I will keep you posted, as I think it's the BEST DAMN BOOK I'VE EVER WRITTEN. though I may be a little biased.
