The German Midwife by Mandy Robotham
3.0
This book definitely makes you wonder about what might have happened to Ava Braun while she was hidden away. Taking a midwife who is thrown into a concentration camp for assisting Jews to a hideaway to carry for a pregnant Braun is certainty unlike any other historical novel I have ever read. Throw in some intrigue around the resistance an their desire to get their hands on the baby as well as the possibility of a baby born with a deformity and you have quite the scenario.
Overall, this book is well written. There were times that the story drug and I found myself unable to stay focused on the story. I actually skipped over sections of everyday information. Hitler being portrayed as a specter was a bit odd but not necessarily unbelievable. He was treated reverently by all that followed him or they might be dealt with harshly.
It does make you think about all the things that we still don't know in reference to Hitler and his minions.
