The Book of Lost Children by Jenny O'Brien, Jenny O'Brien
4.5

The book of Lost Children is a dual timeline historical fiction inspired by true story. I couldn't wait to read this as I LOVE historical fiction, but especially true story or inspired by true story books! I was drawn in from the beginning and I couldn't get enough of the story. Such a tough time period to write about and read about but Jenny did a fantastic job sharing the story. I must admit that I never really thought about what happened with babies born during this time. I definitely cried at different points in the story and the twist at the end was something I wasn't expecting at all. Such a beautifully written story. I will be reading it again.some day and I will have my older kids read it when we next study WW2 in history. 

I received an advance copy and am voluntarily leaving my review
