Many thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio/St Martin's Press for gifting me an audio ARC of the last in the trilogy of World War II stories by Heather Morris, narrated by Finty Williams. 4 stars!
Cibi, Magda and Livi are 3 sisters living in Slovakia. Before his death, their father made them promise that they would always stay together. Livi, the youngest, is ordered to go with the Germans. Cibi goes with her, trying to keep her promise to her father. The two are taken to Auschwitz while Magda was hidden in hospital. Two years later, Magda is also captured and the three are reunited. They continue to fight for their survival together, leading them on a death march across Europe, back to Slovakia, and eventually to Israel.
Heather Morris always does an exemplary job of writing these historical fiction novels, based on real people - be sure to read the author's notes at the end. The horrors of WWII death camps have certainly been written about but it's important that they aren't forgotten. The last part of the book focuses on the sisters' life after Auschwitz, which was very interesting.
The narrator did a good job of voicing these characters - especially since the majority of voices were female.
