Loved the way this book was written. Also a translated book always lends to it being special. Loved how the authors was researching her family and the dual timeline that took place. Stories like theirs should never be forgotten and the way the book was written as a refreshing perspective on yet “another” Holocaust story. But every person has a name and needs to be remembered.
I thought the political aspect was very interesting as even now today we see Palestine and Israel in the news.
There was content at the end of the book that I didn’t like and didn’t see the need for it to be added. It didn’t really lend to the story and could have been skipped.
Thank you Libro FM for my audio copy!

This book kept me engaged. The story was unexpected in the sense the sense that it was not about the holocaust as I thought. It is about family, their secrets, and what it means to be jewish.
