Code Name Sapphire - Virtual Author Talk with Pam Jenoff
Calendar Date:
Join us for an exciting trip through time!
We'll chat with New York Times bestselling historical fiction author Pam Jenoff about her newest book, Code Name Sapphire.
Inspired by incredible true stories of courage and sacrifice, Code Name Sapphire follows Hannah Martel as she races to rescue her cousin's family from a train bound for Auschwitz in this riveting tale of bravery and resistance.
It’s 1942, and Hannah has narrowly escaped Nazi Germany after her fiancé was killed in a pogrom. When her ship bound for America is turned away at the port, she has nowhere to go but to her cousin Lily, who lives with her family in Brussels. 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?
