Having read all the books in this series, I think this is the one that got to my heart the most. The kind of love that these sisters have for each other is incredible…my heart broke reading this book but it gave me so much to be thankful for in my own life.

I really like Heather Morris’ books. I have read Tatooist, Cilka, and now the Three Sisters, and I loved seeing how their stories intertwined.

Astonishing, inspiring and harrowing. Based on the true story of how three sisters survived the atrocities of the Holocaust together. It's split into three parts - their promise to their father that they will always stay together (in 1929), their time within the death camp/s (1942-1945) and their journey and settlement into Israel after the war. It's quite a slow - paced read especially due to the heaviness of the text but worth the full read. The afterwords from various family members and photos were a lovely touch.
I recommend to anyone who is interested in gaining insight into the Jewish perspective of ww2 to read the three beautifully written books by Heather Morris: Three Sisters, Cilka's Journey and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

A heartbreaking historical fiction story about three sisters during world war two. I loved how the stories were all different, even if they shared experiences. I also really loved that these were real people and a true story (though it is historical fiction because of details that were embellished) The fact that there is a real piece of art, inspired by these women, just a beautiful thing.
Having given 5 stars each to Tattooist and Cilka’s Journey, I didn’t expect to leave just 3 for this one. The reason is that from a little over halfway through the book, I thought it read like an epilogue. It didn’t seem like a continuation of the story, but rather a series of bows tied onto each sister’s journey that took up nearly half of the book. I also sort of forgot this was based on an actual account, because I felt like the dialogue seemed so forced in the latter half that, combined with the flowery descriptions of certain actions, it came across as unrealistic and sometimes downright hokey. If it’s true to the characters and their interactions, then I give my apologies to the author. But I felt for the last 20% of the book that I just wanted it to hurry up and end.
