A review by thepolishedbibliophile
Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn

emotional informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Jennifer Coburn weaves a captivating story of the Lebensborn Society maternity homes during World War II in Germany.  This story is told through the point of view of three German females, each with their own thoughts and opinions about what was happening in their current climate.  At the Helm Hochland, their lives become to be interwoven as they navigate their own roles in the story.   The unique perspectives helped myself as a reader understand a little bit more of the German people from questioning to following along whole-heartedly.    I was also intrigued by the time of history that I have not read or learned much about.  I found myself immersed in each of their individual stories, and read this book very quickly. Thank you to Jennifer Coburn, Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for an advanced copy!  All thoughts and opinions are my own!
