Helpful Score: 2
I found this book to be riveting. There is not much known about the Lebensborn program. I asked my Dad who served in the army for 4 years in Holland and he told me there were lots of rumors about German soldiers targeting Dutch girls just so there could be more Aryan babies but that no one could ever tell them if it was true or not.
Although fiction, this read like a memoir. I was captivated by this story from the start and kept asking myself why I had left it in my TBR pile for so long.
The account of the things the Nazis sometimes did to ensure the "purity" of the race are told but not in too graphic detail.
I felt Cyrla's loneliness and despair as she realized that everyone she loved had either left or deserted her and as she struggles with the realization that she may lose her baby also to the Nazi program.
