strawfly14 's review for:
The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz
by Ellie Midwood
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for one digital copy in exchange of an honest review.
I'm always up to a good Auschwitz story, since is one of the historical events I like to read the most about, even if sometimes (most of them) it's painful to read about all the crimes that were committed. But I really liked the approach of this book, and the author did a respectful job. Mala and Edek are characters you inevitably fall in love with. At first, it seemed to me that they fell in love very fast, but well then I thought about the context and how time wasn't the same in Auschwitz. I was seriously rooting for them, and even If got heartbroken at the end, I think theirs is an amazing story that gave hope to many of the inmates. I'm thankful to Ellie to transform their story into a novel. I definitely would read more from her -I saw that she also has another Auschwitz book. I liked it a loot and of course was well written, but I did realize that they were some punctuation errors that I guess will be corrected for the final version.
