Texreader Wow! I‘m so glad it worked for you. I tried it twice and bailed twice. One of the characters‘ narrative style just didn‘t work for me. 4y
monkeygirlsmama @Texreader Really? Aww that's too bad. I have had that happen before too though. 4y

Well-written, but sad because the topics are hard. The saying, ‘be kind to others as you don‘t know what they‘re going through/what they‘ve been through‘ is what I think of after this book.

A very difficult book to review as there are two incredibly harrowing storylines (Auschwitz / Ravensbruck and also abuse in a more current timescale). The awfulness of some of the details actually masks whether the writing is any good, and the ‘twist‘ at the end was signposted throughout.

Be very wary of reading this if you‘re at all sensitive to either of the above storylines - some horrific details included.

There is a good story in this book somewhere. I just don‘t have the patience to find it. The chapters alternate between two narrators, one that is so disjointed and un-understandable I can‘t take it anymore, 15 chapters into it. Someday when I‘m retired with endless time to devote to trying to make sense of those chapters I might pick it up again. What a disappointment for the part of the book that seems so good.

Crazeedi I hear you!! 5y

Finally made my Amazon First Reads choice, the tagged book. For the first time I actually bought a second book from the list because I couldn‘t make up my mind. Starting this one at 3:30 am as I struggle to fall back to sleep as usual.

TrishB I got this one too, not got to yet so I‘ll look out for your review. 5y

Shakespeare said that for those who love, time is eternal, and he is right. There is an endless sense that wherever she goes I go too. As long as I live she lives within me. I wish I‘d said that to her.

This book was like a box of chocolates. Some parts AMAZING...other parts not so good.

Haven't been on here a lot lately as life's been a bit crazy. This is my Amazon first pick for the month and it sounds so good.
Berlin, 1989. As the wall between East and West falls, Miriam Winter cares for her dying father, Henryk. When he cries out for someone named Frieda – and Miriam discovers an Auschwitz tattoo hidden under his watch strap – Henryk‘s secret history begins to unravel.

Started this over dinner, which coincided with the start of the #reversereadathon. It‘s proving to be a quick but engaging read. The 6 pm MDT start means that I‘ll likely get in a good 6hours reading before bed!
