Customer Reviews

Dual storylines, great historical fiction

This was a heavy read. The author doesn’t gloss over the atrocities of war or tragedy in life. I loved both storylines, and the author bounces back and forth between the two seamlessly.

I Recommend This Book

The book captured my attention from the first page. The characters were all interesting. The depiction of the horrors of the holocaust was so well written. Nice surprising ending.

World war ll and the horrors of the camps

This book is just beyond anything I have read so far, she draws you into each and every character, and their life situations, before, during, and after the war. There are so many stories within the main story, but yet not confusing or disruptive to the main story, it all ties in beautifully.Your heart will break at the excruciating details of all the suffering and injustice done to a whole innocent race of people.I stayed up many a night till 2am and beyond not wanting to put it down. I am so glad I purchased this book on a whim, not that it was recommended by anyone I knew.A powerful and unforgettable story.!! Its heartful and emotional, a story to be remembered for quite a while.

Heartwrenching

This a book that pulls you in from thw beginning. I could not put it down

Amazing story told brilliantly.

You can feel the setting. The characters are so refreshingly real. The way it is told is nothing short of brilliant. You can learn so much about the time period, the motivation of each of the very different characters, and experience feeling of survival in this book. I don't Love, Love, Love many books, but this is one of them.
