Code Name Hélène by Ariel Lawhon

5.0

Nancy Wake is an Australian that has moved to Paris to work as a journalist. She soon falls in love with a Frenchman while war approaching France. Nancy finds that she cannot stay away she must do what she can to help with the war effort. Independent, feisty and foul mouthed, she becomes a powerful leader in the French resistance.
I always love reading historical fiction, but I especially enjoy historical fiction when it is based on a true story. From page one I was absolutely captured! I admired how strong, smart and resilient Nancy was. Throughout the book my heart swelled and broke, it was such an emotional adventure. I highly recommend this beautifully written book.
A special thank you to NetGalley and DoubleDay Books for my ARC eBook!
