Based on the true story of three Slovakian Jewish sisters who endured the unthinkable in order to forge new and hopeful lives. When they were little, Cibi, Magda, and Livia, made a promise to their father - to stick together, no matter what. When at 15 Livia is ordered to the concentration camps by the Nazis, Cibi remembers this promise and follows her. Magda is left behind and spends time hiding out. With her eventual capture, she's sent to the death camp where she's reunited with her sisters. A story of survival and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.

Three Sisters explores the complex trauma and horror of the Holocaust, as well as the surviour's guilt that plagued these women in the aftermath. I could not help but be uplifted by the courage of these remarkable women. However, the mediocre writing (at best) doesn't do that story justice. I just get the feeling Morris' writing could use more depth and polishing. What I particularly liked about this novel was continuation of their story beyond the death camps, and their migration to Israel.
Overall, a powerful and emotional story it just didn't have the emotional punch I was anticipating. Three Sisters can easily be read as a stand alone,

"To survive one must remain invisible."
"Not now, she tells herself, but how do you embrace the future with an open heart when that same heart has been broken over and over again, the shards of it hammered into dust? Maybe that's what this is all about, Livi thinks, as the ship pulls away, putting our hearts back together."
"It is bond which crosses time and space, which hurdles their pain and dulls their suffering. They each implicitly understand that mere distance will not break their bond."
