O Tatuador de Auschwitz by Heather Morris

thenextgenlibrarian's review against another edition

challenging medium-paced

This was exactly what you think it will be: a depressing, but well-written and important book set during the Holocaust in WWII that’s based on a true story.

This book was a compelling read. Definitely a page turner for me. If you don’t want to read about specifics about the Holocaust, you have come to the wrong place. And if you expect a fully accurate telling, you have come to the wrong place. It is as accurate as makes sense and achieves what it set out to do: tells the beautiful love story of a man and woman who met under horrible circumstances. Definitely a page turner.

Una historia que se lee de una sentada. Demasiado ligera para la excusa de su escritura - una historia verdadera-no ha logrado que me apropie del contexto, los personajeso o la historicidad -poca o mucha- de los sucesos narrados. En particular me cuesta creer la facilidad del comercio de joyas y otros objetos valiosos en ese entorno. Olvidable.
