A Woman of War

This was a fantastic book! I never felt like it dragged on or was tedious. The title is “The German Mid-Wife” here in the USA, rather than the title indicated.
Setting was WWII and those who have been sent to the Concentration Camps are German citizens who were caught helping the Jews and those who also opposed the Nazis and their Socialist Workers Party.
It is a work of historical fiction, and well researched, but one never knows how much is based in truth concerning the German citizens resistance in joining the Party.
The main character is a mid-wife (as is the author) and the plot is a look at “ what if this really were to have occurred” concerning Hitler.
Not a far fetched “what if”, but credible.
Main take away - “is there ever an exception of who is worthy of life?”
I recommend it to lovers of historical fiction in the WWII genre.
I’m not sure how much some men would enjoy it as it is all about the women who are effected by Hitler. Not much action, but a lot of thinking of what is ones duty in their present situation.
