These two books are a marvel. In-depth perspectives on how life was for the people imprisoned, looking at the strength and endurance the people showed. Absolute must reads for anyone who is interested in such genres. You emerge yourself in the characters' lives, picturing and feeling every emotion portrayed in the books.
Warning, I've only read Cilka's Journey and not yet The Tattooist of Auschwitz. I'm not sure how I managed to read them out of order but I enjoyed it a lot. It was really hard to read and a bit slow to start but overall a touching story of tragedy and perseverance. I'd recommend it.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to enjoy this book as I imagined it would be a distressing read due to the subject matter. On the contrary I found it to be a tale of resilience and strength of the human spirit.
(Tattoist Of Aushcwitz) Very addictive once you start reading, its really gets your emotions going won't write here what happens at the end as it will spoil it for popple who are or wanting to read it would definitely recommend
Tattooist read in one day.breath taking and eye opening. Cilka's journey another breath taking eye opening experience
Excellent read. Really enjoyed it.
This story is a heartbreaking tale of love, loss and survival against all hope. I found it difficult to put down as I needed to now what happened to the protagonist.
Brilliant book. I loved it .
These books are both really interesting, I absolutely loved reading them. They are both so emotional and captivating to read, I wasn't able to put them down once I had started to read them!
Saying that I enjoyed both these books seems wrong but they used all of my senses to express just how appalling the concentration camps were. They are both great historical novels with a fictional element that makes them into, although horrific, stories of love and community. Both were fantastic but I definitely found myself drawn to Cilka's Journey more. I think this is because being a female I could relate to the female characters in this novel, there were times where I found myself tensing up...
After reading The tattooist of Auschwitz (which I was absolutely glued to from beginning to end) due to isolation I finally got time to read my Christmas present. It wasn't as hard hitting as the tattooist, although still emotional in parts especially due to the fact this women was still facing punishment after Auschwitz. It taught me a great deal, as I feel this is rarely portrayed in history and in fact I had no idea that punishment continued in Russia. Lale commented that Cilka Klien was the
Recently I’ve just started reading books as I’m needing to up my skills with writing, I can honestly say these two books having given me an amazing start to my obsession with books now, probably the best books I will ever read. There was an instant grip on both of books. I’ve went on a tour to auschwitz birkenau 2 years ago so while reading them I found them even more intense and surreal. I do hope Heather Morris writes more of these stories or similar as I found them truest amazing x
Based on a true story , but this is still a novel and a romantic one at that .The story is intriguing since it is set in real surrounding and true events . What I found surprising is the way that opportunities which came the way of the main character were not grasped but left for others to benefit . Admittedly she is said to have been a great person but she was out to do anything to live and not be put down ,
Heather Morris writes in a style that keeps you turning page after page, her books are difficult to put down especially if you read about how she came to write them.She writes about a very difficult subject drawing the reader into the book, enabling them to emphasize with the characters.I could not put the books down and was quite sad when I finished them, I wanted to know more, I wanted to keep their story alive and tell other people they must read these stories too. Brilliant!!
Definitely worth the read, I loved the way the characters cross over within the books, it was very clever. A real insight into the rarely explored stories of the Jews labelled as ‘privileged prisoners’ and their individual plights and determination for survival, a viewpoint on the holocaust I haven’t considered previously. I would recommend.
They are both amazing books and definitely worth a read but I would personally recommend reading the tattooist first if u do consider reading Cilka’s Journey and even though they are both slightly different they both definitely bring out lots of emotions and it still saddens me that we will never fully know Cilka’s true story aka journey.
This was one of the books that was chosen by my book club. For those of us who are old enough to have learned about the horrors Of the Nazis during World War II this book brings it to life and I hope for this to not happen again, but it is still going on. It could be a tough book to get through at times but these things actually happened
