I am always up for a good WWII historical fiction. This is did not disappoint and gave us a different look at lives impacted by the war.

I really enjoyed reading this. I felt like certain parts dragged a bit, but overall, I liked the glimpse into a less-explored version of WWII history. The notion of a covert SS officer who worked to kill Hitler seemed a little outlandish, but it worked in the context of the story. Altogether, it was a nice, albeit emotional, read.

The majority of my historical fiction reading is in the time period of WWII. This particular story focused on Lebensborn homes. I was equally horrified and fascinated to read about this aspect of the war for the first time. The author executed a fast paced, informative, entertaining novel with undertones beyond the scope of the war. I am grateful for the love stories in the midst of all the grief to prove good things can happen in the midst of terror. It is no wonder this book took twenty years to create.

I found this to be an utterly captivating read. I was very gripped by the story, and super absorbed in its characters. It has such a great depth and arc for the characters with the beautiful prose. I couldn’t put it down till was done with it.

I can’t even tell you how much I loved, The sunflower house. This book was gorgeous and heart wrenching at the same time. It made me breathless and want to cry in the very same breath. I love how the characters are really nicely sketched and appear human rather than perfect, something that is usually the case with most of the romance books. I will read this many more times.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to read The Sunflower House. First of all, WOW! This book was amazing! It hooked me from the first chapter. I couldn't put it down. The story of Allina & Karl is beautiful and heartbreaking. The work that they did in the darkness of Nazi Germany is incredible. The work that people did to resist Hitler is beyond incredible. This is an absolute must read in my opinion.
