Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book, I could not put it down. I read it within 2 days, and would recommend it to family and friends.
You will totally believe in the characters of Cyrla and her family. Their story is one of survival against all odds, the risks family and friends took to ensure their survival. The story has twists and turns, Cyrla has help from the last person she thought.
Sara Young really tells the story of the Lebensborn homes, it makes you think of all of those children born in these homes who never knew their real parents.

A stunning and eloquent insight into a lesser known part of Nazi Germany, a addicitve page turner which will you leave breathless and hungry for more. Immerse yourself in this beautiful tale of love set in war history. An absolute must for anyone who enjoys war romance, twists and turns, suspense and drama. My Enemy's Cradle is a winner.

Format:Paperback
One of the best books I have read in a long time. Read it within 2 days and couldn't put it down. This is Sara Young's first novel for adults and hopefully not her last. The Lebensborn breeding programme is one of the less publised events which happened during the Second World War set up by Himmler to increase the population of the "master race". This is a moving story of betrayal, survival and love. Beautifully written.

Not quite what it says on the tin
Bought this thinking it would be believable as the cover says, it was a decent enough yarn, but a bit too far fetched for me.

A sad, unconvincing little book. Surprised when the author went into detail about her sources. I'm no historian but there were some glaring errors there. Read more
