Rose Under Fire - Hardcover

“Every so often, however, a YA novel comes along that is impossible to ignore. . . .That’s what happened with Rose Under Fire.”
—Montreal Gazette  

“Rose Under Fire is a grippingly truthful story about survival and hope in a harsh world. . . . a beautiful, captivating novel that manages to bring hope to a sad story. . . . Young adult literature needs more historical fiction like this!” ―The Guardian (UK)

“It was brilliant yet thought-provoking. This is now one of my favourite books of all time.” 
—The Guardian

“Readers who want more Code Name Verity should retool their expectations; although the story’s action follows the earlier book’s, it has its own, equally incandescent integrity. . . . Rich in detail, from the small kindnesses of fellow prisoners to harrowing scenes of escape and the Nazi Doctors’ Trial in Nuremburg, at the core of this novel is the resilience of human nature and the power of friendship and hope.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
 
“Wein, author of the lavishly honoured Code Name Verity, once again offers up an utterly engrossing, startling and not-to-be missed YA novel. . . . A consistently engaging, powerfully moving story of female friendship, this is especially compelling for the way Rose’s character becomes ever richer, deeper and more nuanced as she matures — pilot, poet, survivor and friend.”
—Toronto Star 

“‘Rose Under Fire’ is bound to soar into the promised land of young adult books read by actual adults — and deservedly so, because Wein's unself-consciously important story is timeless, ageless and triumphant.”
—Los Angeles Times

“[Rose Under Fire] tells an unforgettable story of love, sacrifice, courage, and friendship. . . . Action-filled and emotionally-manipulating.”
—The Darien Times
