I wasn’t enjoying the tone of the book anyway—it’s a sopping-wet love story with paper-thin characters and some thoroughly fantastical plot points, set in a concentration camp. But then I read what the response has been from the Auschwitz Memorial and other Jewish historical associations, and those were nails in the coffin. The fact that the author claims it’s historically accurate only makes it worse. It’s an awful book, and I strongly don’t recommend it.
I loved this book. I liked Cilka's Journey better, but this book was very good too. Parts were abit unbelievable, but it was good overall.
This book was tear-jerking, heart wrenching, and painful story to read and comprehend at times. Heather Morris did an eloquent job of writing this novel on behalf of those involved in such a horrific time in history. I couldn't put this novel down, I needed to know how it ended and if there was a happy ending for this couple and for those involved in such tragedy and who lost so much. Cannot speak highly enough about this story.
