From the first page, Code Name Hélène captivated me with its vibrant prose and meticulous research. Ariel Lawhon seamlessly weaves together four timelines, creating a narrative that is both richly layered and easy to follow. The alternating perspectives add depth to Nancy’s story, giving readers a sense of her transformation from a journalist in Paris to one of the most decorated female agents of World War II.
Nancy Wake is a protagonist like no other. Her quick wit, unshakable courage, and unwavering commitment to the Resistance make her unforgettable. Whether she’s evading the Gestapo, parachuting into Nazi-occupied France, or navigating the complexities of love with her husband, Henri Fiocca, Nancy’s determination is inspiring. Lawhon captures both her humanity and her heroism, making her feel as real as the historical figure she’s based on. Definitely one of my favourite books this year!!

Wow. Wow. Wow. If there’s a more admirable woman in history/fiction I want to meet her. This was SUCH a good read. A historical fiction based on the true life of Nancy Grace Augusta Wake set in France during WWII with flashbacks, a love story, and of course, tragedy. Pacing got a little slow in parts, but this was a really enjoyable read.
