Why is SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden keeping “Verity”
alive and imprisoned at the Château de Bordeaux? Why do you think he is willing
to give her so much time to write her confession?
Who do you think switched Verity’s and Maddie’s
identification papers? Why?
What are your impressions of Anna Engel? Is she a
sympathetic character? Why or why not?
How well do we really get to know Julie (“Verity”)?
What of her confession is “true”? She ends her confession by repeating and
repeating “I have told the truth.” What truths has she shared?
How do the roles of the female characters, especially
Maddie, foreshadow the women’s liberation and equal rights movements that would
take place a generation after the War in Europe and the U.S.?
Maddie makes a life-or-death choice that you will probably
never have to face. Given a similar bond of friendship, what would you do if
you were in a situation that required you to hurt someone you loved?
