Such an amazingly heartbreaking story on so many levels! I didn’t know about what the Soviet’s did to sone of the female prisoners who they deemed as helping the Nazi regime. A truly beautiful story!

What a beautiful book!! 
I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz
during lockdown and reading this had the exact same feeling. Cilka is a beautiful strong woman. She is a true inspiration and I think it is captured in this book wonderfully. Although a very hard subject, there are some light hearted moments and I would recommend to anyone to continue with it just have regular breaks throughout!

Was stunned during this book. How can you be punished for trying to survive in such a horrible place. Felt so bad for Cilka throughout the book.

An amazing and heart wrenching book. I couldn’t put this book down. Like the Tattooist of Auschwitz it is a book that needs to be read. Such an important story.
