This 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

#Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club. My answers:
1️⃣ Print Copy. I wanted a Northanger Abbey retelling for this month. November just seems the perfect time
for Northanger Abbey. Cover caught my eye. I just love it! Didn't realize the setting is November. Or that it was Time Travel.

2️⃣ I really liked Mr Austen in the past story.

3️⃣ Love a Book Fair!

⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ ‘Oh, you like Jane Austen…..
Yes I believe many men do, though some people think she's an author just for girls, I suppose.

Unbelievable, Who on earth would think like that?‘

5️⃣ You had me at biscuits. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ This is from my Goodreads Review of The Mysteries of Udolfo:
‘I was so happy to hear The End…..
Apparently there weren't Editors in 1794 when this was published. It rambles on and on and on. I could only take so much of the Histrionics. I would bail for a while. Finally I can get this 31 h 15 m 42 s mess off my phone.‘ ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ I found the notes about the Rice Portrait of Jane Austen interesting. I've seen the image countless times, but didn't realize that it may be Jane Austen herself. 3w

This was another fantastic story by Heather Marshall. I can't wait till her next one. The pain felt endless, I felt like i read this with shoulders hunched over. There was a thread that didn't seem looped, and it is driving me crazy.

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.

A marvelous debut - wonderful research, pull-you-in writing, and some tender moments despite what was going on.

A must read for historical fiction fans.
