Chronicle Conducive To Books A Flicker of Light

In 1935, the Nazi's established a program called “The Lebensborn.” Their agenda, to genetically engineer perfect Aryan children. These children were to be the new master race, once HItler had cleared all undesirable elements out of Europe. Within a year the first institution was built. The year is 1943.... The forests of Munich are crawling with danger under the rule of "The Third Reich," but in order to save the life of her unborn child Petra Jorgenson must escape from the Lebensborn Institute. Alone, seven months pregnant, and penniless avoiding the watchful eyes of the armed guards in the overhead tower, she waits until the dead of night. Then, Petra climbs under the flesh shredding barbed wire that surrounds the institute and at the risk of being captured and murdered she runs headlong into the terriying desolate woods. Even during one of the darkest periods in the history of mankind, when horrific acts of cruelty became commonplace and Germany seemed to have gone crazy following the direction of a madman, unexpected heros came to light. And although there were those who would try to destroy it, true love would prevail. Here, in this lost land ruled by human monsters, Petra will learn that even when one faces what appears to be the end of the world if one looks hard enough one will find that there is always "A Flicker Of Light."

Judgment Of Books A Flicker of Light

Flicker of LightI loved this book. It is the second time I have read it. I feel the book was very, very close to the truth. I've heard many stories like this first hand from my mom, grandmother and aunt firsthand.

Ms. Kagan did a wonderful job learning about the events of WWII and bringing them to life. She did a great job of integrating the events of the years with personal stories that you could easily relate to and see the war through their eyes.

This is a light read principally about a girl who has babies with every man she meets. Of course she falls deeply in love and cannot help herself. It is described as a Holocaust novel but this is a bit of an over claim. The war is going on but most of the time it barely touches the protagonists. In the last quarter it becomes more real but, in my opinion, is still pretty superficial.

Good character developmentOnly reason I gave this 4 🌟 is the overly descriptive making love parts. I don't think it was necessary. Other than that I enjoyed the book. At one point in the book I got so angry about a characters actions I stopped reading for two days. I don't think I have done that before. I appreciated way that all the characters were introduced in a rembered. I didn't have to think "ok now who is this person?" , because they were only mentioned once 4 chapters back.

PredictableWhile the story of a young girl during Nazi Germany is good, it was predictable and simple. I enjoyed it for the happy ending.

I enjoy WW2 books but found this one to be one if the lesser well written ones. The storyline was good but parts were quite abrupt and I didn't feel a strong attachment to many if the characters. I feel this would have been better with some of the deaths drawn out a bit.

I got this as a free download from BookBub and wish I hadn't wasted my time. If you are going to mine the deplorable horror of The Holocaust for a novel, at least write a good book. The characters in this one all sound the same. They talk incessantly. They recount information in lengthy expositions of which the reader is already aware. The "heroine" is a shallow floozy. The villains are stock Nazis from any pulp fiction. Move along. There's nothing good here to read.
