Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris

4.0

Just like every other WW2 era historical fiction, this one broke my heart. It’s unimaginable, the things that people like Cilka went through. To read the horrible atrocities that were committed against so many, and know that it’s not purely a work of fiction is crushing. My main complaint with this particular story though is that the writing didn’t suck me in like the previous work I read by Morris did. Something just seemed to be missing, though I can’t quite put my finger on it. It wasn’t really until the epilogue and all the info that came after that I felt myself fully immersed. Still, this book really got to me, and had me feeling all the things.
