A review by barbrokatrin
The Child of Auschwitz by Lily Graham
2.0
Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
I’ve read several books about the Second World War and Auschwitz that I loved but this didn’t make me feel anything. Since it a quick read there isn’t much time to actually get involved in the story. I felt detached from the story, which is kinda sad cause the story is a good one if it would only have more emotion in it. I didn’t feel drawn into the story. It doesn’t go deep into the living situation of the camp or very deep into the characters. It’s almost like it’s a superficial story, it barely scratched the surface. I was in no hurry to finish the story cause it didn’t captivate me. And I found the time line confusing, suddenly she was 4 months pregnant. Where has the time gone? I have no idea how long she has been at camp. Only bright point is that it wasn’t that long so I finished it in a few hours.
