Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 29th at 7 pm. Join Chester County Library as we present a virtual Novel Tea event featuring New York Times Bestselling Author and local Philadelphia native, Pam Jenoff, who will be discussing her latest novel, Code Name Sapphire, released in February 2023.

Pam Jenoff is the author of several books of historical fiction, including the NYT bestsellers Code Name Sapphire, The Lost Girls of Paris, The Orphan’s Tale, The Diplomat’s Wife, and The Woman with the Blue Star. Her novels are inspired by her experiences working as the Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Army at the Pentagon and as a diplomat for the State Department in Poland. These positions afforded Pam a unique opportunity to witness and participate in operations at the most senior levels of government and provided expertise regarding World War II and the Holocaust for Pam’s books.

Inspired by these incredible true stories of courage and sacrifice, Code Name Sapphire is a powerful novel about love, family, and the unshakable resilience of women in even the hardest of times. This is a powerful and memorable story for fans of World War 2 historical fiction, for readers who appreciate stories of brave women in the Resistance Movement, and for those who love sides of a thriller with their historical fiction stories.

This Chester County Library System fundraiser will support your local library’s efforts to consistently provide opportunities to read, learn, connect, and support the well-being of thousands of patrons in our shared community. Tickets will be available online from Wednesday, July 5th for $35 per person at https://bit.ly/JenoffLibrary.
