“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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘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

excellent

this is an excellent story. You dont really think about this aspect of the camps during the war.

Lovely story

WWII was filled with such horrific details. I am reminded with books like this of just how good we have it. This was so well written and I didn’t want to stop listening.

Great history and romance!

This was a perfect storm of history and romance. We as a whole, tend to put the horrors of what happened to the Jews during the war out of our minds. I personally can hardly believe this kind of thing actually happened but yet it did. The setting for this story is so real you can see it coming to life. The strength of people was unrelenting. I was so amazed at how this book ended. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful Read

Amazing story ,very well told by JuliaWinwood Loved it! You will not be disappointed.Cant wait to read more books by the author.

Damn good first novel.

I thought the premise was going to be pretty weird, hard to pull off. Excellent to my surprise. A great story, well paced, great characterizations, plot. I loved it.

Moving and wonderfully written!

As a labor and delivery nurse, I loved her accounts of the births. They felt very real! The entire story was fantastic!

Great

Great work I love the history overall one of the best books I have listened to

Listen to this story, you won’t regret it!

This book had my attention from the first chapter. I couldn’t wait to finish it. Great story... now I’m fascinated by the history and want to read more.

I loved it!

It had my rapt attention from the beginning. I couldn't put it down, start to finish. This historical fiction, does not lull or drag. Excellent read.

Excellent!!!

I'm always a little bit leary of reading books about the suffering people go through during Natzi Germany, especially about women who are going through horrible experiences in the camps. However, I loved this book and found it facinating. The main character is developed well as are the other characters. Had trouble putting the book down and kept looking for excuses to listen. Finished the book in a couple of days and didn't want it to end. My heart was beating out of my chest at the end! Highly recommend this book!
