Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville

4.0

~3.5 stars. I thought the portrayal of Nazi Germany, and in particular one of its concentration camps, from the perspective of a child who didn't understand the atrocities going on, was very well done. Initially I wasn't that impressed by the reveal of how the two storylines fit together, but I warmed to it as the final pages played out. I do wish that the author had included a note at the end about the factual realities that the story was based on -- from my cursory research on Google I believe it was supposed to be a portrayal of Ravensbruck, where horrifying medical experiments were conducted, but I would have liked to have learned more about it.
