extraordinary historical figure – Lawhon’s best book to date.'
*Kirkus Reviews, *STARRED**
'Ariel Lawhon delivers in Code Name Hélène. This fully
animated portrait of Nancy Wake – underground operative,
charmer in red lipstick, loving wife, and hard-hitting woman of her
times, will fascinate readers of World War II history and thrill
fans of fierce, brash, independent women, alike. A stark
exploration of the remarkable difference one person, willing to
rise in the face of fear, can make.'
*Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Before We
Were Yours*
‘Magnificent ... Lawhon carries us into the heart of the French
resistance [and] into the mind of a badass heroine with uncanny
instincts who takes on the Nazis and men’s arrogant sexism with
uncommon bravado ... Propulsive ... Emotionally stirring... Even
long after the last page is turned, this astonishing story of
Wake’s accomplishments will hold readers in its grip.’
*Booklist, starred review*
