I won this last year as a Goodreads give away. I am so glad I did not waste my money on this liberal propaganda garbage.

I could not finish it. It was glaringly obvious of the author's liberal political stance just shy 50 pages. Numerous sarcastic mentions of Hitler "Making Germany Great Again", comparing people who are anti-abortion to women hating Nazi's, etc, etc!

The entire scene where Mildred and her husband have been married for five years and she's still not pregnant so she goes to see a Pro Abortion advocate woman doctor speak amidst the protests of brown shirts who yell a womans only job is to make babies makes absolutely no sense for her to do. It was ridiculously fabricated to make any pro-life person out to be a fascist pig who is also anti-woman.

I couldn't even make it to page 100...I have no tolerance for blatant political agendas and lies in a WW2 historical fiction. This genre is saturated with so many other books that does not demean and ridicule the pro-life and conservative reader.

Auf Wiedersehen & gute riddance!

Two Hearts Homeschool Sounds terrible - great review though!


message 2: by Christina (new)

Christina Exactly! I stopped reading this about page 25. If it wasn’t so evil, it might be funny that the author is using a ww2 historical fiction novel to promote abortion propaganda.


Shari I'm glad I'm not the only one that had this reaction although I'm sorry we both wasted our precious reading time on this!


message 4: by Angie (new) - added it

Angie Thanks for the heads up. I think I’ll stick this on my abandoned shelf just to save myself from accidentally starting it.
