Reviews - Code Name Hélène

An inspiring, devastating, sobering read about an incredible woman in the darkest of times. And reading it in July of 2025 certainly gives me a lot to think about.

One that I could not put down

This is one of the best books I have read and listened to at the same time. As a great book should, it completely took me away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The timeline was a little hard to follow, especially toward the end, but “Noncee” was a fascinating character, and I loved her relationships with the men in her life.
