I simply cannot use any other word but "Extraordinary"! I was torn between should I buy it or shouldn't I? Having just finished it, I'm absolutely of the mindset "Oh my gosh what if I hadnt?" A masterful telling of the human experience during WWII from the Nazi side. . . .to start. As Herta, once a fully indoctrinated child learns as she grows up, always question, decide for yourself. The world is so much more than what we are told.

3.5⭐️ I think that the book was decent; it wasn‘t good but it wasn‘t bad either. I liked the story that the author told, but it lacked depth to the story. #bookstagram #bookreview #fiction #historicalfiction #wwii #2021 #germany🇩🇪 #readingeurope2021 #bookspinbingo

After the last historical fiction book I read and was sadly disappointed with, I am so happy to say I found a much better one. A. Much. Better. One.

A book about a girl growing in Germany at the start of wwii. She starts out totally buying into the info and propaganda she is given. But slowly she starts to realize it‘s wrong.

Unique WW11 romance set from the perspective of an ethnic German girl named Herta Heinrich. Her world is spun on its head when she falls for a Jewish boy. A forbidden romance made all the more dangerous by the fact that her father is a ranked Nazi officer. An epic tale that swings all over the emotion map as two young people hopelessly in love, but forbidden to be together navigate the world of young love in the shadow of Hitler.

My Ebook is due soon and there are several holds. I should‘ve curled up and read in my lunch break but craved a rainy walk instead.

A poignant story of a girl just coming into womanhood that falls in love with a Jew in the days leading up to WWII. It is a fast paced and dramatic tale that portrays the lives of people swept up in the growing power of Hitler and his SS. A story that will leave you gasping in the end. My full review is on my blog at www.thespineview.com. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
