The USA Today Best Seller.

“A powerful, haunting debut”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network

An enthralling new tale of courage, betrayal and survival in the hardest of circumstances that readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Secret Orphan and The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz will love.

Germany, 1944. A prisoner in the camps, Anke Hoff is doing what she can to keep her pregnant campmates and their newborns alive.

But when Anke’s work is noticed, she is chosen for a task more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. Eva Braun is pregnant with the Führer’s child, and Anke is assigned as her midwife.

Before long, Anke is faced with an impossible choice. Does she serve the Reich she loathes and keep the baby alive? Or does she sacrifice an innocent child for the good of a broken world?

*Published in the UK as A Woman of War*

Mandy Robotham’s highly awaited next book, The Secret Messenger, is out now.

Ce que les critiques en disent

‘The German Midwife is a book to harrow the soul and linger long in the mind. Anke, a German midwife sent to a labor camp for aiding Jewish mothers against Third Reich law, is whisked from hell-scape to eerie luxury when she is brought to Hitler's private mountain estate to care for his pregnant mistress Eva Braun. Mandy Robotham writes movingly of the eternal human struggle to preserve reverence for life in the midst of genocide and horror. A powerful, haunting debut.’ Kate Quinn

‘Incredibly powerful, harrowing but ultimately uplifting. I couldn’t put this down.’ Katie Fforde

‘A fascinating story which had me forgetting it’s fiction! So well written, I was left pondering if the events could actually be true. Enthralling!’ Kitty Neale

Very well written, and very well performed! It was very upsetting to know what things went on in the Nazi regime.

Having been born of German descent, I have always felt the German people to be good people and that most soldiers and defenders were forced to do the things they did. My grandparents and husband’s grandparents were kind loving people.

This book shows the horrific nature of this regime but still leaves me with pride in my heritage.

Intense Well Written Frightening Story

I found this book to be excellent. Despite the love story being a little far-fetched, the great details about the differences in pregnancy and delivery between the two groups of women was astounding and teaches us so much about the realities during WWII. I enjoyed how the descriptions in the book made me feel an array of emotions, which is what I like when reading, as it feels more like an immersive experience than just reading words. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed the story, but did struggle several times with the narrator's whiny depiction of some of the minor character's voices. Overall, an enjoyable listen.
