- Heather Morris is just a beautiful writer. You can tell she puts SO much research into these books, through first hand accounts from the people they are about and their family to general research about the settings.
- The bond these three sisters had was just beautiful. They truly believed that the bond they shared and the promise they made are what saved them in these horrible situations.
- I loved how we got to see so much of the sisters' lives after the concentration camps, specifically how they dealt with their grief and their memories moving forward.
- One thing that I found just beautiful and that really gave depth to this story was how we saw the sisters' significant others deal with the feeling of guilt that they didn't "have it as bad" as the sisters. These people went through the most horrific thing one could ever imagine, and the thought that they'd compare themselves is heart wrenching, but I LOVED that the sisters set them straight (for lack of a better word).
What I Didn't Like/Wanted More Of
- I wish we'd gotten to see a little more about some of the final moments
specifically with Chaya and Yitzchak (grandfather) and even Eva. , specifically in terms of the shared grief between the sisters. I feel like they were missing SOMETHING, but I couldn't tell you what.
