Third read 11/2-12/4: I freaking love everything in this book. It’s been close to two years since I’ve read it, and I’d forgotten so many of the details! I love Eva’s spirit and dedication, Angelo’s struggles, and the hope that is woven throughout the book, despite the horrors that happen all around the characters. The scene with the caves guts me. Every time. This is such a well researched and beautifully written book.
Second read 2/27 - 3/11: I didn't know it would be possible, but I loved this book even more the second time through. I learned so much about history, religion, and human resiliency by reading this book.
I've been trying to figure out the best way to express how I feel about this book. Unfortunately, I'm not as good with words as many others out there, but I'll do my best. :)
As I've mentioned before, I love books based out of the WWII time period. I love reading about the people who overcame odds that seemed to beat them down. I feel sad for all the people who went through those atrocities, both those that lived and those that died, but reading their stories helps me to remember what is important to me.
This book isn't like any of the other war books I've read. This book is so thought provoking! Most history stories are, but this one was different. I learned so much about Judaism and Catholicism, heard stories I hadn't previously known, and really was able to draw some personal learning and wisdom from it. There are so many inspiring words and quotes in this book, and I will definitely be reading this one again and again. I'm so thankful that there are wonderful authors out there that are willing to share their words and talent with those of us that "aren't so good with words."
