While the content of the stories written by Heather Morris is at times heavy, I think she has done a remarkable job, sharing the real-life stories of the characters, not just in this novel, but the previous two accounts as well. For me, stories like this are necessary & should be on everyone’s #TBR to really allow us to engage with the history & experience of people who lived through these times.
Honestly, I was a bit reluctant to start this one, with the current state of the world. This sort of thing can really affect my emotional state during uncertain times. I’m so glad I did though.
The stories of Cibi, Magda & Livi are important ones, their accounts of courage & survival during & after due to the displacement of war & their will to live on despite the trauma are truly amazing. I’m so grateful that they were shared in this way. This story will stay with me for a while.
