The Nine is a story about 9 young women, each in their 20’s, who independently joined the Resistance against Germany in various different ways. All were captured and put in German prisons, which is where they met. The story details all of their trials and tribulations in camp, their bonding as a group, decision to escape as a group, execution of that plan, route, and encounters along that path to freedom (Freedom was reaching the front line where the Americans were located). Prior to their escape during a death march, they were beaten, deprived of food and water, and tortured. These WWII stories about women are not mentioned like they are for men
The book finished with details of these women’s life after the war/freedom, how prison impacted them and their families. The nine women ultimately went their separate ways, maintaining only minimal if any contact after their experiences. The story was presented very well.
I received an ARC copy of the book and all comments and thoughts are my unbiased opinion. Thanks #bookishfirst ! #TheNine #GwenStrauss
