Martha Hall Kelly is the only author I have read a previous book by in the A Point in Time collection of short stories, although I have several of the other authors waiting on my digital and physical shelves. I’ve read and enjoyed Lilac Girls by Kelly, so I knew the author’s talent for historical fiction, especially those set during WWII. While Naomi’s Gift is heartbreaking, it’s also inspiring.

“She wants to hold my hand at the end, so I let her.”

From the first line, I found myself immersed in the story. Told primarily through a series of letters which make the story even more compelling, Kelly brings to life Ravensbrück and the atrocities that occurred at the only all-women’s concentration camp during World War II.

Memorable and haunting, inspired by real people and events, these are stories which should not be forgotten.
