The Rabbit Girls
by Anna Ellory
Hoo buddy, this book was unrelentingly depressing - not that you ever expect a book about the Holocaust to be light-hearted or unserious, but this one was particularly bleak. Miriam's storyline in particular took this to a whole other level of sad, and I'm still not sure I know how I feel about the parallels the author attempts to draw between survivors/victims of domestic abuse and those in concentration camps. On the one hand it felt like an unnecessary sub-plot (i.e. how many traumatic abuses can one novel hold) but on the other hand it felt like the author was trying to say something important about the strength of victims in the face of their oppressors. Not sure the latter fully landed.
