Code Name Sapphire

Thank you Pam Jenoff and HTP Books for this gifted copy.

As y’all know, @pamjenoff is one of my absolute favorite authors. I first fell in love with her vivid and emotional historical fiction stories when I read 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 back in 2007. After that, I eagerly awaited her latest book each year.

Jenoff is a master when it comes to finding the unknown and riveting stories of WWII that will tug at your heartstrings. And, I appreciate how dedicated she is to her research and the Author’s Notes at the end are just as engrossing as the story itself.

𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 is a story about love, family, betrayal, while taking you on a captivating ride through the Underground world run by the Resistance during WWII.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: 1942. Hannah Martel has narrowly escaped Nazi Germany after her fiancé was killed in a pogrom. When her ship bound for America is turned away at port, she has nowhere to go but to her cousin Lily, who lives with her family in Brussels. Fearful for her life, Hannah is desperate to get out of occupied Europe. But with no safe way to leave, she must return to the dangerous underground work she thought she had left behind.

Seeking help, Hannah joins the Sapphire Line, a secret resistance network led by a mysterious woman named Micheline and her enigmatic brother Matteo. But when a grave mistake causes Lily’s family to be arrested and slated for deportation to Auschwitz, Hannah finds herself torn between her loyalties. How much is Hannah willing to sacrifice to save the people she loves?

Inspired by incredible true stories of courage and sacrifice, Code Name Sapphire is a powerful novel about love, family and the unshakable resilience of women in even the hardest of times.
