Very sad and eye opening. I never knew about the camps after the war was ended. Loved hearing about Cilkas story.
An incredible story, beautifully told. Cilka is the definition of a hero in every way.

This is a wonderful book. Throughout reading I was heartbroken and yet still hopeful for Cilka along the way. There are many parts of this book that makes me mad and I know it's not all true that some parts of the story was made up. However, I have ended the book longing to know about Cilkas actual store. The full truth of it all. She was so young though both books and so strong without ever breaking. I loved so many of the side characters that were silver linings in her life and helped keep her safe in the prison and camps. I loved reading about her ending and how it sounded so happy as well as so happy that Gita and her were reunited again and both got to survive the horrors they went through. There is no way I could not give this book 5 stars. It's already my favorite book I have read this year ans regret not reading it sooner.

You know a book is ‘good’ when you finish it in one day. Morris you have done it again. What an emotional ride. The heartbreaking things Cilka and everyone else had endured during this awful just breaks me. I really hope Cilka had the happy ending she deserved once she left Auschwitz-Birkenau and Vorkuta.

An amazing sequel. Cilka was imprisoned for so long and yet remained so strong. It's a story of bravery, compassion, friendship; a story where you did what you did in order to survive. The amount of research Heather Morris did is remarkable, and I love the way she weaves fictional and factual elements. This story will stay with me forever.

På en måte er dette en bedre roman enn Tattovøren i Auschwitz fordi forfatteren ikke er like bundet til faktiske hendelser. Likevel blir det da veldig tydelig når hun veksler over fra fiksjon til virkelighet. Historien er gripende, men fortalt på en utrolig kjedelig måte. Jeg føler ingenting når hun blir voldtatt og misbrukt fordi vi aldri kommer inn i sinnet hennes. Tilbakeblikkene virker kun som at er der for å minne leseren på hvem Lale og Gita var, ikke fordi de tilføyer noe til handlingen. Synes også det blir feil å sitere Lale på at Cilka var den modigste han hadde møtt, når historien vi leser er helt fiktiv.
