Germany, 1944. A prisoner in the camps, Anke Hoff is doing what she can to keep her pregnant campmates and their newborns alive. But when Anke's work is noticed, she is chosen for a task more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. Eva Braun is pregnant with the Führer's child, and Anke is assigned as her midwife. Before long, Anke is faced with an impossible choice. Does she serve the Reich she loathes and keep the baby alive? Or does she sacrifice an innocent child for the good of a broken world? An unforgettable tale of courage, betrayal and survival in the hardest of circumstances, perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Alice Network.

    I went into this with Kate Quinn on the brain and I shouldn't have. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't just finished two of Quinn's books. I found this very slow-paced and the ending so unfulfilling. It is great as a debut novel but I am not sure I would seek this author out again for historical books.
