Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff

4.0

I received an advanced copy of this book.

At the beginning of WW2, Hannah attempts to escape Europe and boards a ship bound for America. When the ship is turned away, she finds herself seeking out a cousin in Brussels. While still seeking a way to escape, Hannah finds herself helping the underground, specifically the Sapphire Line. Mateo and his sister Micheline lead this network and Hannah finds herself feeling a strong connection. However, Hannah makes a simple mistake that carries deep consequences for her cousin Lily's family and they are soon deported. The intensity builds from there as efforts increase to help and save more people.
