Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
5.0

This book was so incredible. I read it in under 24 hours and it was 455 pages long! That's a incredible feat for me because of how slow I read!
I loved the variety of the characters in the book. A good portion of it takes place in a concentration camp so you would expect the characters to be broken women but they weren't. They were strong and fierce. They looked out for each other no matter the cost to them self.
While the story itself is fiction it is based off of actual events. The author makes a point to say that at the end of the book. The characters are made up but the atrocities done were real.
This is a book everyone should read. Truly touching story about a group of very brave women.
