The Beast's Garden by Kate Forsyth

5.0

I came across this book by accident while searching for ‘retellings’ for a book challenge I’m doing and the idea of doing a retelling in Nazi Germany grabbed me straight away. I love historical fiction and read a lot of WW2, but I’ve rarely read any books on the resistance groups in Germany during the war. One book I did read earlier this year which I loved was Resistance Women by Jennifer Chiaverini and I was thrilled to find that the real-life characters that Resistance Women was based on also featured in Beasts Garden. The author did a fantastic job of researching and keeping to real events as closely as possible and I adored the love story between Ava and Leo. So glad I found this accidental read!
