Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff

 


Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff-343 pages

Inspired by true stories of people living inside occupied Europe during WWII.  Hannah has narrowly escaped Nazi Germany after her fiancé was killed. 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 brother Mateo. But when a bad 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?  I enjoyed this book very much.  Shows how strong women are in the toughest of times.
