The Lost Daughter (The Love and War Series) Paperback – August 27, 2020

How well written it is and a great story line! Made me not want the book to end!!

This is the first fictional account I’ve read of the Lebensborn project that had occurred during the 1930-40’s. With excellent historical details and memorable characters, I was thoroughly engrossed in this story. A definite recommend!

a great historical fiction novel

I love books about wwII not so much the fighting but how so many people were effected by the war. This is very well written and I loved the story line. I'd recommend it its a good read

This was a fascinating story that follows German history during World war 2. It describes the lebensborn program with real people that could certainly be real events and feelimgd.

I enjoyed the story, however, as an adoptive parent, my heart went out to the “parents” who loved and raised her. It would have been complete for me if the author would have somehow acknowledged and wound them into the story.

Couldn't put it down. Read it in two days. So much going on and wanted to know what was going to happen. One family's tragedy and how it effects the generations to come.

Interesting story line, but definitely not the best read. Several characters, in different times, different places became confusing to follow. As the story went on, I found myself skimming parts that went on and on.When a character named Barbara was introduced 3/4 of the way through the book, I went back thinking I had missed this name earlier. She was someone mentioned several times, but never by name. I did finally finish this book as the ending was ok, a bit of a surprise.

I was kept interested throughout the whole book. Easy to follow. Would recommend this easy read book. Historical in nature

This book never stopped holding my attention, Every night I struggled to put it down so that I could sleep. The characters were both believable and interesting. It flowed well and held my attention to the last page. The subject matter was fascinating even though it was grotesque. It happened and many children were born as a result . This is what makes the book so good its an old story, that has never to my knowledge ,has been covered before. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys history or a well rounded book. I will continue to read more of ghis authors books as he writes so well.

I found this book to be well written and very thought provoking.

Loved the book! I haven’t been able to sleep nights so I get Alexa to read to me when I wake up . It was so good I was glad to wake up and hear the book! Great story kept me interested right until the end.

My reviews can be found via my Instagram blog, handle: @mels.reading.sanctuaryI saw this on my daily @bookbub emails with heavily discounted E-books (saviours) and I’m an absolute sucker for WW2 historical fiction. The good thing about the Kindle is that I don’t really take much notice of the book cover and focus more on the synopsis because in all honesty, if I saw this book cover in a shop I probably wouldn’t buy it...The story itself explores the latter years of WW2, focusing in particular on the Lebensborn programme: an extreme idea product of Himmler in order to ‘create a strong Aryan race’.This story is split into three different time periods and has different narratives, but the main protagonist is Elizabeth who we follow through her childhood in the 1950’s and her adult life between 2001 and 2002. There is also the story of Hannah during the Second World War which ties importantly to Elizabeth’s story.This was a very easy read, not as informative as I would have liked in regard to the actual history factor of it all but nevertheless an interesting and lovely story. I’m so bias when it comes to historical fiction because it’s one of my favourite genres and I haven’t yet found a book within this genre that I don’t like. This story is part of a set series set in the war which I am definitely going to look into!
