The Midwife of Berlin by Anna Stuart is a historical fiction and is a second book in the series. However, it can be read as a stand-alone book. Set in 1960's Germany, this book tells the story of a world that was divided. Is the illusion of normalcy in both these worlds a comfort, or is something else underneath?
Olivia and Kirsten, two young women, live in a divided Germany. One lives in the East and the other in the West. Then there's Ester, a survivor of Auschwitz who has lost a lot during the war. Both Olivia and Kirsten are trying to navigate this divided world, but they are in search of something.
This book tugs your heart. This book is about loss, finding them, figuring out our own identity, fighting the negative, and fighting for the right causes.
Thank you, Bookouture and Netgalley, for this book.

Une suite qui valait le coup !
La plume est fluide et m’a aidée à sortir de ma panne de lecture :)
Au début la relation entre les deux filles n'était pas totalement claire, mais vite ç'a changé. L’histoire avec la séparation entre Berlin Ouest en Est était imaginable, mais le suspens était quand même présent.
Quelques personnages et leur histoire étaient un peu vagues, mais l'histoire en général était émouvante.

I really enjoyed midwife of Auswitch, and was looking forward to this book. It was a bit of a disappointment, this whole book could have been summed up in about 5 chapters.

The story kind of wrapped up for me, I didn't feel like reading further because I kind of got the answers I wanted.
