I chose this book as I was interested in learning more about people's experiences in concentration camps and in moments of deep distress. The cover of the edition I read had "Even in hell hope can flower". When I chose it I like I had lost hope so to read about the perspective of an individual who went through so much horror and heartbreak and still had hope was inviting. I loved this book, I highlighted so much of it. Edith did not have an easy life but she learnt so much through her experiences and is now sharing them so others can learn and heal through their own. I didn't realise this was just the book I needed.
