Publication Date: May 31, 2019
eBook; 368 Pages
Genre: Historical Fiction
“It was very dangerous for him, and he knew it. But his love for me was stronger than fear.” - Ilse Stein This novel is based on the inspiring and moving love story of Ilse Stein, a German Jew, and Willy Schultz, a Luftwaffe Captain in the Minsk ghetto, who risked his life to save the one he loved the most. When the last of the Jews’ rights are stripped in 1941, Ilse’s family is deported to a Minsk ghetto. Confined to a Sonderghetto and unable to speak the locals’ language, Ilse struggles to support the surviving members of her family. Befriended by a local underground member Rivka, Ilse partakes in small acts of resistance and sabotage to help her fellow Jews escape to the partisans. A few months later, after losing almost his entire brigade of workers to one of the bloodiest massacres conducted by the SS, a local administrative officer Willy Schultz summons the survivors to form a new brigade. Ilse’s good looks immediately catch his eye, and he makes her a leader of the new unit and later, an office worker. Soon, an unlikely romance blossoms amid death and gore, moving a Nazi officer to go to great risks to protect not only Ilse but as many others as possible and allowing a Jewish girl to open her heart to the former enemy. Knowing that the ghetto would soon be liquidated, Willy Schultz swears to save Ilse, even if the cost would be his own life. “We live together, or we die together,” - an ultimate oath of love in the most harrowing setting. Dark, haunting, but full of hope, “No Woman’s Land” is a testament to the love that is stronger than fear and death itself.

My Review

No Woman's Land: A Holocaust Novel is Ellie Midwood's newest release. It is a fabulous read. Miss Midwood's talent shines through in this one. It tells the powerful story of the tragedies many suffered from the Nazis during World War II. It is, also, a gripping story of hope and survival.

No Woman's Land: A Holocaust Novel is most definitely a must read and I highly recommend it. I am giving it a well deserved five plus stars. I hope to read more by this author in the future. She has earned herself a new fan.

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
