The Lost Life of Eva Braun by Angela Lambert

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

This biography seeks to humanize and understand Eva Braun, not exonerate her. Her life was blisteringly sad and empty, hollowed out by the man who would end the lives of millions. Hers is a very personal tragedy, though I don’t think she would have seen it as such. 

The author spends a bit too much time talking about her family’s history for my taste, but that’s up to personal choice. It’s definitely interesting that her mother lived a very parallel life to Eva, though.
