The Sunflower House

I just finished The Sunflower House by Adriana Allegri and here are my thoughts.

Allinas life has been turned upside down. Her whole family was killed and the SS takes her. Allina has a secret, she's part Jew. Something she has to be quiet about and now she is being forced into service as a nurse at a state run baby factory.. what she sees there makes her skin crawl. The eugenics program is in full swing but something is wrong but lucky for her there's someone on the inside who wants to help.

This book broke my soul.

The lebensborn program was something I didn't know much about and the book seems to have stayed pretty true to reality and I went down the rabbit hole. It was even worse than I imagined. This book brought it home, the horrors. It really hit me hard.

Allina has to be careful but working in the home has opened her eyes to something much worse than she realized and hiding isn't an option. Her life isn't more important than those kids. I loved it. I loved her for the danger she put herself in and Karl... ugh my heart bloody broke.

The writing was amazing. I was drawn right in and out through the emotional washing machine but it was an excellent book and I cannot recommend it more!

5 stars.

This book captured something I don't have the words for but I felt it deep inside. Out today!
