The Sunflower House: A Novel | 
pickInspired by people and events of history, The Sunflower House was not in and of itself a piece of non-fiction. Despite reading as such, it was infact just a really good novel. I highly recommend the #audiobook.

pickThis is a WWII novel set in one of the Lebensborn homes that Germany ran to breed racially pure children. The well researched novel tells the story of a woman forced to be a baby nurse & how she is determined to improve the lives of the children there. There is risk and romance and lots of anger inducing moments in the world gone mad Nazi Germany. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. While it is a story that has been covered before, I enjoyed it. 4/5

How to begin this review. This was a perfect first novel. A debut to be so proud of. One that will take your breathe away. Make you shed tears and even give you a bit of hope in places. It also made me feel fear. Sadness. Some happiness. And possibly hope.

Katrine finally learns what her mother‘s life was like during WWII during her time as a nurse in one of the many Lebensborn Program facilities.
A heartbreaking but enlightening read where secrets were kept for years and where the reader can‘t believe it happened.
A marvelous debut - wonderful research, wonderful, pull-you-in writing, and tender moments despite what was going on. 5/5

pickA very compelling page turner This book was set in WW2, and was about the women who cared for the children and pregnant women in a home. Lots of romance throughout this book, many secrets that were kept inside individuals make for a wonderful charming book that is not to be missed. There were those that tried to do good at the risk of their own lives and this book was highly emotional and thoroughly enjoyable right through to the end of this ARC.
