The Rose-Grower
Georgia Penn is an American woman living and working in Nazi Germany. Most people—Allies and Nazis alike—believe she’s a legitimate Nazi sympathizer, as she broadcasts an English-language radio program that presents the Nazis as sympathetic and compassionate to their prisoners. In reality, though, Penn uses this cover to walk right into concentration camps and prisons and locate missing people. Usually, she’s successful. Penn successfully locates Julie, and she passes on Julie’s coded messages to Maddie and the Resistance.

Quotes
He has a light nasal tenor—so beautiful. It hurt worse than being slapped, being shown the irony of his life. And of mine, of mine—OF MINE—Isolde alive in the day and the sun while I suffocate in Night and Fog, the unfairness of it, the random unfairness of everything, of me being here and Isolde being in Switzerland, and Engel not getting any cognac and Jamie losing his toes. And Maddie, Oh lovely Maddie,

Part 2, Section 11
Quotes
“She showed me,” Penn said. “She was pretty clear about it. Adjusted her scarf as soon as we’d shaken hands—gave me a good look. Ugly row of narrow triangular burns across her throat and collarbone, just beginning to heal. It looked like it had been done with a soldering iron. More of the same all along the insides of her wrists. She was very clever about showing me, cool as you please, no drama about it.”
