Three Sisters

Product Information

These characters brought nothing new to the over-saturated genre and the repetitive feel made the book drag. For two years after Cibi and Livia were taken to Auschwitz, Magda remained at home but felt remorse and guilt that she was at home and her sisters had been taken away. Un libro para conocer mas todo lo que se vivió en esa época, con un estilo directo, al grano y bien escrito, la autora remata esta historia con un epilogo magnifico, con unas imágenes que se te ponen los pelos de punta.

A dark and bleak but ultimately life-affirming journey, with hope in the darkest days, a determination to survive and to care for those that you love. In the spring of 2019, my wife, Pam, and I were about to embark on a trip to visit our adult children and family in Israel, and to celebrate the wedding of our niece. Historical Holocaust- ‘based-on-a- true-story’, novel was written from love, warmth, and compassion….Regardless, we only recommend products or services we use personally and believe will add value to our readers.

For those who have already read other books on the subject, including the author’s first two, I can only give a more cautious recommendation. I felt so invested in the lives of the three sisters, and as a reader you become so connected to them, especially as this book spans more than just their lives in Auschwitz, looking at both before and after, meaning they become the three-dimensional people they deserve to be. We joyfully reunited with our children and my mother, my ema, in Israel; at the same time Heather Morris was preparing for her South African book tour to promote her bestselling, powerful novel about Lale Sokolov, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

I remember coming home one afternoon to see my safta speaking to a stranger, with tears in her voice, immortalising her story into a camera; and being scared and curious, and not knowing what to do or say. It’s a bittersweet moment when the three of them are reunited; it really left me conflicted, I was pleased they were together, able to hug each other again but at the same time was devastated that it was in hell, with them facing death every, single day. I like books in this genre as my bookclub is currently on a literature-snob bent and sometimes you just want to read a book and try to enjoy it, right?

This is a difficult and overwhelming book to review, it was a remarkably enjoyable read but that doesn’t sound right considering the theme of the story. A vitally important book to never forget, and a reminder of the depth of human hope, love, and the will to survive. Years later, when all three were reunited in Auschwitz, this promise would be put to the test again and again. This book is an extremely well written book by this amazing author which had me hook line and sinker! Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.The tone of the book (for me), felt elementary and the dialogue between the sisters felt too sugary-sappy, for my taste. It is that love that helped them overcome the range of emotions – guilt, anxiety, fear – that Auschwitz caused. Además la autora es guionista, que no ESCRITORA, y lo que hace es contar la vida tal cual se la contaron, NO SOLO ESTE, SINO LOS TRES LIBROS, por lo que no son historias que describan al detalle las atrocidades que sufrieron (a veces no son necesarias), y no por ello dejan de ser libros duros. The descriptions, the recounting of events and the horrors of the death camps made this an emotional journey and I felt their despair and heartache.

This was the first time I realised her heroism: the way my mother and her two sisters survived those horrible times. As with Morris’ other two books, the story is true and was created with the help of many interviews. Owen's evocative writing skills ensures you are dragged deep into the storyline seeing everything that is happening and feeling the tension and suspense throughout. Magda is saved by a doctor in their home town who keeps her in hospital for safety as long as he can before she has to be released.When they are little girls, Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father – that they will stay together, no matter what.
