Summary
From the USA Today bestselling author comes a gripping new emotional WW2 historical novel. Inspired by a true story!
Rumours of the Nazis coming for Czech children swept through the villages like a breeze through the trees, and the story was always the same… They wanted our children to raise as their own
Since her husband, Josef, joined the Czech resistance three years ago, Anna Dankova has done everything possible to keep her daughter, Ema, safe. But when blonde haired, blue-eyed Ema is ripped from her mother’s arms in the local marketplace by the dreaded Brown Sisters, nurses who were dedicated to Hitler’s cause, Anna is forced to go to new extremes to take back what the Nazis have stolen from her.
Going undercover as a devoted German subject eager to prove her worth to the Reich, the former actress takes on a role of a lifetime to find and save her daughter. But getting close to Ema is one thing. Convincing her that the Germans are lying when they claim Anna stole her from her true parents is another…

A wonderful tale made from a heartbreaking story
I listen to a huge number of audio books, some are great, some not so good. This though, oh my word, this is exceptional.
The narrator gets it 100%, the emotion, the fear, the heartbreak all played to perfection. I was totally invested in the characters, the main one especially.
And then there is the novel itself...
What an awful topic, but what a wonderful story has been written using that topic. I had never heard / read anything by Andie Newton before, but am so glad I found this. My book of the year for sure.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Gripping because it was true
Enjoyed it but also found it disturbing the subject matter too closely mirrored historical events even the bombing of Dresden
