Publisher's Summary
Berlin, 1944. ‘No! Not my child!’ Annaliese screams, her voice breaking as she pounds the window uselessly. But no-one looks up as the man in the SS uniform cradles her precious baby and strides away…
She lies unmoving on the threadbare cot, her throat hoarse from long hours of screaming but her tears keep falling. Her heart has been cleaved in two, now the Nazis have taken the only thing she has left–her child. She is utterly powerless against them. But as Annaliese cries herself to sleep, she makes a vow—she will find her precious baby again. Whatever it takes.
Berlin, 1979. Lawyer Evie has come to the city to investigate the horrifying stories of infants torn from their mothers during the war. One of the cases is Sebastian, whose yellowing birth certificate tells a heartbreaking tale. Evie is drawn to this lost man, and vows to do all that she can to help him.
But poring through old records, it is Evie who recognises the faded photo in a newspaper article. Her heart stops as she realizes her whole life has been a devastating lie—and that her and Sebastian’s pasts are impossibly, unimaginably connected…
Fans of The Book of Lost Names and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will be swept away by this absolutely gripping and heartbreaking World War Two novel about the extraordinary power of a mother’s love.

Overly Dramatic
Despite the strong reviews, I did not like this story, the characters or the narration. I found it overly dramatic and at times immature and exaggerated. I struggled to finish it and I it did so because I was expecting it to get better
