Absolutely heart-wrenching yet beautiful at the same time
I picked this up last summer when it was first released, as I am a sucker for war fiction, particularly anything to do with WW2 and the Holocaust.

I really liked that the author took the time to get to know Lale, his history and then write about it with such care. The characters were captivating, and you really did feel almost every emotion going when reading.

Read in under 24 hours, an impressive feat for me!

Wow
I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down but I had to at times because l didn't want it to end. Even though this book is fiction I was so caught up in Anke's journey that the author made it feel so real life. The author captured the sadness of real life history, and with her knowledge of midwifery this book fast became one of my favourite reads in years. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has a fascination for stories about the holocaust.

A Must Read for anyone with an opinion on refugees and war
This book is powerful and disturbing. I read it in my undergrad class on genocide and war. I think of the true horrors laid out in this book every time people discuss refugee camps or genocide or even "just" war. It shows how quickly it can happen and how the group behavior of the Tutsi turned on their friends and neighbors. Has many powerful parallels to other genocides, such as the Holocaust and Native Americans. It is a tough read but worth it for anyone who wants to know how these things happen.
