The German Midwife, by Mandy Robotham
2.0
This book was pretty good until the introduction of a lackluster romance between the protagonist and an SS officer that took up far too many of the pages. Not only did they have zero chemistry, but I really didn’t want or ask for a “reformed Nazi” love story.
This book should have focused on the women in the war, their struggles, their children, and the moral dilemmas that midwives such as Anke were thrown into; instead it meandered and floundered. Such a shame.
