'My Enemy's Cradle goes to the very heart of hope and how it can survive in even the darkest and most dangerous of times.' Anne Leclaire, author of ‘Entering Normal’
‘My Enemy’s Cradle has everything - it is a page turner full of twists and turns. It is a love story, it is a war story. It reveals a dark piece of history. There is only one caveat to this novel: you’ll want to read it straight through. So put aside everything and begin.’
Ann Hood, author of ‘The Knitting Circle’
Sara Young takes us into the very heart of the Nazis’ cradle with a powerful story of love set against the true events of one of the most secret and terrifying of Heinrich Himmler’s wartime projects – the Lebensborn Nazi breeding programme.
Cyrla’s neighbours have begun to whisper. Her cousin, Annika, is pregnant and has passed the rigorous exams for admission to the Lebensborn, a maternity home for Aryan girls carrying German babies. Annika’s soldier has disappeared; the Nazis confiscate fatherless children. Cyrla, sent from Poland to hide with her Dutch relatives, has been warned that her neighbours know she is half Jewish. She won’t be safe for long.
A cruel twist of fate places Cyrla with the terrible choice between certain discovery in her cousin’s home and taking Annika’s place in the Lebensborn. If she takes refuge in the enemy’s lair, can Cyrla fool the doctors, nurses, guards and other mothers-to-be? How will she escape before they discover she is not who she claims?
