Synopsis: A woman must rescue her cousin's family from a train bound for Auschwitz in this riveting tale of bravery and resistance, from the bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris
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 Mateo. 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. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This was a story with a lot of danger and a lot of heart. If you're a fan of historical fiction and pre-WWII books, then this should be one you check out. I really enjoyed the way it was written and told.
Our main character, Hannah, is very brave. She risks a lot to try to save all those that she can.
I was really interested to learn about the Sapphire Line. I really liked learning that it was based on real events.
Nazi Germany and the awful things that occurred there can be really hard to read about, really hard to wrap your head around, but it's definitely an important time to study and remember. Seeing the kinds of heroism ordinary people did is very inspiring.
I really enjoyed this story. I think a lot of people will like it too.
