As a thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced readers copy I shall give an honest review of Cilka’s Journey by Heather Morris. Cilka’s Journey takes place before and after events shared in “The Tattooist of Auschwitz”. Lale Sokolov introduced us to Cilka Klein describing her as the bravest person he had ever met. In this novel we learn why. The novel follows Cilka as a young woman of sixteen when she was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration camp in 1942. Once the war is over and its prisoners are liberated is Cilka’s freedom still held onto by her oppressors. For Cilka is then sent to a prison camp for sleeping with the enemy. In doing so meant her survival. In this camp does she find roles that will assist her in surviving her circumstances. Eventually it is her role as assistant nurse does, she harness the resilience needed to move forward despite the brutal conditions of what she has endured. It was moving, heartfelt, and overall a joy to read. This novel is one that I would highly recommend to others and give it four out of five stars on good reads.
