Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn
4.0
I love a powerful historical fiction story set during World War II and this one is exactly that. The story follows three main characters Gundi, who has become pregnant and while she is the perfect Aryan beauty, she is involved with a resistance group; Hilde who wants nothing more than to become a wife and perfect member of the Reich and a nurse, Irma. All three find their lives intertwined at the Nazi breeding program Heim Hochland.
First, I will say I had no idea this even happened. It was shocking to read and learn about. Second, Coburn tackles the subject with such beautiful prose but doesn't hold back either. There are certainly times it is difficult to read, knowing that this all went on in our not-so-distant history.
If you're a fan of historical fiction, especially set in World War II, this is not one to miss.
Thank you Sourcebooks, Suzy Approved Book Tours, and Jennifer Coburn for the gifted eARC and physical copy!
