Staff Reviews

This novel was inspired by a true story set in WWII. I was initially interested in reading this because against all odds it was a tale of survival. Though painful at times with its descriptions of the sisters’ lives in the Auschwitz concentration camp, I was propelled to read on even as the life they endured defied belief. The outcome of these amazingly determined women was buoyed by the promise they made to their father to always look out for one another. Guided by this promise they amazingly find a path through the horrors to endure and survive. This is historical fiction with heart.
