Review


This is my 1st Jodi Picoult book so i can not compare it to any of her others, my closest encounter is My Sisters Keeper but I watched the movie and have been told numerous times that the ending is completely different....... which is a bit weird, but anyway I digress.

This book is wonderfully written, beautifully told and magically narrated.

Sage works in a bakery, in the back, at night so no one can see her. Her reason is because she has a large scar on her face that she got from being in an accident, she doesn't like to be seen.

She strikes up an unlikely friendship with an old gentleman called Josef and talk about things over coffee and bread rolls.

Josef then asks her to help him die after he admits to her that he was an SS officer at Auschwitz and this is what he deserves.

The book is told parallel to her grandmother Minkas story, she was also at Auschwitz but as a POW !

I absolutely loved this book and when on audio it makes everything so real, the descriptions are so lifelike, I could almost taste the bread that Sage made and almost smell the death that is explained by Minka.

This is a book that makes you wonder what you would do in this situation.

The harrowing content is something that needs to be read so that it never gets forgotten and NEVER happens again!
