A forgotten puppet. A long-buried secret. A story waiting to be told.
London, 2016. When Christa discovers an exquisitely carved puppet hidden in her attic, she is drawn into a mystery buried deep within her family's past. Her search leads her to Prague and a long-abandoned puppetry workshop, where an extraordinary revelation challenges everything she understood to be true about her life.
Prague, 1939. As the Nazis occupy the city, Elsa Doubkova's world is torn apart. Her father's beloved puppet theatre falls silent, her parents are forced into exile, and Elsa must raise her young sister alone in a city gripped by fear. Torn between her need to keep her sister safe and the passion she feels for a young Resistance member, Elsa draws the attention of the feared Gestapo and risks everything for those she loves and her country.
Spanning generations, this is an unforgettable story of love and loss, family secrets, and the extraordinary courage hidden behind the strings of a forgotten puppet.

I don't often begin a review with tear-filled eyes, but The Midwife's Promise left me in a huge puddle. Gripped, devastated and heartbroken are just a few words I felt after completing this novel. But I must add, I also was full of hope and uplifted by the release of truth at the end... I highly recommend The Midwife's Promise, but be prepared as this story will make you weep. Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
