Mara's Stories: Glimmers in the Darkness by Gary D. Schmidt

2.0

Part of my "read three books by the same author" challenge of the year. This is one of Schmidt's less known works - a compilation of short stories told by Mara while living as a prisoner in Auschwitz. As you can imagine, it's heart-breaking. I didn't love it as far as short stories go - but I am glad I read it. It's different than most of Schmidt's books and even though it's short stories I wanted a continuous thread to pull throughout the stories - it just wasn't there.
