ufcasey 's review for:

The Rabbit Girls by Anna Ellory
1.0

Well, this was a terrible conglomeration of infidelity, hidden letters, domestic abuse, the Holocaust, and a dying father all rolled into one book that I absolutely would have DNF'd if I could. I did not intentionally read two books about the Holocaust back to back, unfortunately both book clubs I am in happened to pick a Holocaust book this month (the other book was [b:The Tattooist of Auschwitz|38359036|The Tattooist of Auschwitz (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, #1)|Heather Morris|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1525962117l/38359036._SY75_.jpg|56940861]). And out of the two I would recommend reading neither, but I would kind of recommend burning this one.

Spoiler book summary:
Spoiler A woman who unbeknownst to her was being drugged by her abusive supervillain-esqe husband escaped from him in order to find and care for her dying father, then finds some hidden letters in her deceased mother's closet that turn out to be from her father's mistress that were written while she was held in concentration camps and who turns out to be the woman's actual mother in a big reveal that you could see from a mile away. Oh and throw in some 'rabbit girls' who were experimented on in the Ravensbruck concentration camp as a backdrop for the mistress's story along with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in the woman's story because why not? And then oddly choose to make the book title The Rabbit Girls when this book is really in no way about them at all and does their story the least justice.
