This is an amazing sequel of Tattooist of Auschwitz and I feel it could also be a stand alone read also! This is a book of historical fiction. The author confirmed that Cilka was a real person, but many events in the book are her own interpretation of Cilka's experiences. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it was written. I knew that what this book was about before going in. You will feel a huge range of emotions while reading it. You will learn about the horrors Cilka and others experienced daily in work camps. I found this book to be intriguing and informative at the same time. I feel this is an important story for everyone to know about and so important to read. Their voices cannot be forgotten.
