Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff

I love historical fiction, especially WWII historical fiction. Publishing this week is Pam Jenoff’s newest book, Code Name Sapphire. It is a must read book if you are historical fiction fan.

About the Book:

A woman must rescue her cousin's family from a train bound for Auschwitz in this riveting tale of bravery and resistance during World War II 1942. Hannah Martel has narrowly escaped Nazi Germany after her fiancĂ© 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.


Review:

Wow! This story transported me back to WWII. It is based on true stories, which the author explains in the end note what is fact vs fiction. If you enjoy WWII genre historical fiction as I do this is a must read. The stories of impossible threats and the brave people who face those threats is hard to forget. I loved the spirit the author captured in the characters. Once you start this book you will not be able to put it down.
