A harrowing and chilling story of the Lebensborn featuring the Brown Sisters, the ‘Aunts’ of the Handmaid’s Tale. Though much of the historical documents surrounding the Lebensborn project have been lost or destroyed, this story shows the anguish and pain the women who lost their children to the Nazis must have felt, and the lengths many of them wished they could have gone to to get their children back.

I received a free e-arc of this book through Netgalley.
This book is a fictional account of yet another atrocity that the Nazis committed during WWII. They took blonde-haired children from orphanages and from their families in the countries they occupied and sent them back to Germany to be adopted into German families. The anguish of having a child ripped from a mother's arms is too horrible to contemplate. This book takes us into one woman's life as she strikes out to find her child and bring her home again. As a mother, this book is horrifying, but also such a compelling read.

A gripping book that tells a different story of the horror of war. I just couldn’t put it down and had to know Anna’s fate. I would certainly recommend.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for this ARC

I have read and loved Andie Newton's previous books and this one does not disappoint. Newton crafts a tense and emotional drama, interweaving rich and complex characterisation with (her trademarked) attention to detail, both of which (re)establish her as a formidable voice amongst historical fiction authors, particularly those whose stories are set against the backdrop of World War II.

I devoured it - a total page-turner and a must read.
