A review by wolfshine
A Motherland's Daughter, A Fatherland's Son by Ellie Midwood

5.0

A fascinating insight into love and war. When the novel begins, we’re thrown into the story behind a photograph and see our star-crossed lovers thrown together. In the beginning, everything seems straightforward, but as Hitler progresses in his Nazi regime, all bets are off.

I loved how much research the author did because all the details of the war, country, and situation were very realistic. The heroine in our story was brave, choosing to fight on the front lines rather than to hide. I can’t imagine how the story would’ve progressed with a different heroine.

While historical fiction isn’t really my cup of tea, I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.
