The Hidden Book by Kirsty Manning
4.0
emotional inspiring reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

This was a beautifully written story of love & courage amongst the horror of the holocaust & familial trauma. Anything I read on the Second World War leaves me reflective, & this was no different. It was a real journey
It’s written with the double perspectives of past & present, a style I’ve always enjoyed. The two characters, instrumental in the existence & accessibility of an album that highlighted the atrocities of concentration camp life. 
I really believe, even these fictionalized stories, are so important for future history & reflection, & love that an author can allow the light to be reflected in somethjng so dark.
