Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff
5.0
What an incredible story!! This is my first book by Pam Jenoff, and now I need to dive into her backlist!
Synopsis: Set in Belgium in 1942, Code Name Sapphire tells the story of three women during the war. There is Micheline, the leader of the Resistance, who helps bring British airmen from occupied zones to safety. Then, there is Hannah who escapes from the Nazis in Germany and boards a ship to Brussels to stay with her estranged cousin, Lily, until she can make it to America. Finally, there is Lily who is just trying to avoid the Nazis, support her son and lay low. However, when Lily and her family are arrested, likely due to Hannah’s actions, and are given notices that they will be deported to Auschwitz, Hannah decides that she will do whatever it takes to save them before they get on that train.
Thoughts: There is nothing better than finding a HF book that is impossible to put down, is based on real situations/ people and teaches you something new. I was immediately drawn into the plot and while this story, as expected, was heart wrenching and emotional, I love how it highlighted the brave women who helped out during the war. Definitely one to not miss!!
Thank you HTP!! Out 2/7
