She is an auto-buy author for me and I will continue to be one of her biggest fans & faithful reader. I recommend all of Hesse’s books and will forever do so. They had to find a way to live their life again the best way they knew how, even after all of the horrific trauma they endured.ĭo I recommend this book? You bet your sweet tush I do. The war simply did not end when the people were liberated from the concentration camps, those people were scared for life. Events like these need to be told and people need to know. I adore how Hesse has not been afraid to write stories about true events to bring them to light. This story made me uncomfortable, as it should, simply because these events took place in real life. She had such a long journey ahead of her and I wanted nothing more than to give her a hug and help her. I simply had to know what happened and if Zofia was able to locate her brother, whom she was separated from in the beginning. All of this made me connect to the story that much more. Like many, she was traumatized during her time in concentration camps so it was understandable how shaky her memories would be. Even after being liberated, she had a very hard time remembering things correctly, such as her town before everything took place. One thing I found utterly fascinating about this story was how unreliable Zofia was as a narrator. This book did all of that and so much more. Hesse is nothing short of masterful when it comes to writing gripping, heart breaking, raw, powerful, and soul shattering historical fiction novels. It has taken me a bit to find the right words to describe this book.
