This book follows the story of Cilka Klein, an 18-year-old survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau when it is liberated by Soviet soldiers. However, instead of being granted freedom, Cilka is unjustly sentenced to a labor camp due to accusations of collaboration with the Nazis. Ignoring the dire circumstances in which she and other women found themselves during their struggle for survival, she is sent to the Vorkuta Gulag in Siberia to serve a 15-year sentence. In this harsh environment, Cilka must rely on her intelligence, charm, and beauty to navigate and endure the challenges that come her way.
The challenges faced by Cilka in this book were truly difficult, making it a tough read. Her story is filled with relentless hardships, and her remarkable will to survive is almost unimaginable. Through the narrative, Morris effectively portrays Cilka as an incredibly courageous individual. After experiencing Cilka's journey, I am eager to delve into Lale's story as well.

I loved the first book and this didn't disappoint. A real page turner that pulls at the heart strings.
Really struggled to engage with this book. Compared with the first, this book did not make me believe the story.
