3.1.2023 - Code Name Sapphire

Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing Park Row Books for gifting me a digital copy of the latest historical fiction offering by Pam Jenoff - 4 stars!

In 1942, Hannah flees Nazi Germany after her fiancĂ© is killed.  With nowhere to go, she travels to Brussels to stay with her cousin, Lily, and her family.  Desperate for an escape out of Europe, she joins the Sapphire Line, headed by Micheline and her brother, Mateo.  But Hannah's mistake puts Lily's family in mortal danger and she must do what she can to save her cousin's family before they are deported to Auschwitz.  

Told in the voices of these three, this book highlights the strength and resilience of women to fight for their families and what they believe is right.  Every time I read a book about the atrocities of this time, I learn something new which is historical fiction at its best.  Inspired by real events.
