Would I recommend it ? Yes
Would I read anything else by this author? Yes, in fact this is the second book of hers I've read this month , the first book was The Girl With the Diary also a historical fiction WW 2 story and the first book in the The Last Words series. In fact I have books 2 and 3 thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley to read of the Last Word series.
Now on to my thoughts
like always I want to a huge thank you to the publisher Bookouture , the author Shari J. Ryan and to the wonderful ladies of the Bookouture Anonymous Facebook group without them and their hard work and efforts I wouldn't knew about these books and to NetGalley for the invite to join this blog tour as well as letting me read and review it.Like I said in the comment up above this is the second time this month I've read anything by this author and this story broke my heart from the very start to the point I had to put it down for a while because I could feel the tears coming on. The characters was easy to love some more so easier then others , and I loved how you got to knew each of the characters because of how the author wrote their stories . The one character I didn't like was the main one Sofia because she didn't appreciate what her father has done to keep her and her mother safe from the Nazi. And those was the times I want to shake her and make her see that her father who loved them both was playing a dangerous game to keep them safe. Overall her father was one of my favorite characters as was a young prisoner and his sister, so yes this is a must read .
About the Book:
Auschwitz, 1941: It was her father’s job to save the lives of the SS. But she chose to risk everything and save the lives of prisoners.
In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives.
In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, soldiers surround them, and gunshots pierce the dark sky. The SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work, rather than to die.
Every day, Isaac and his fellow inmates are sent to a nearby farm. From sunup to sundown, they toil the land with barely a scrap to eat. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farmhouse window, it feels like a dream…
Sofia refuses to accept what she is seeing. Disobeying her father and evading the guards, she risks her life to sneak a letter to the green-eyed boy outside. She explains that she has hidden them food, and that she’ll do everything in her power to save them.
This secret exchange sparks an escape that should have been impossible—and a love story that is unforgettable. But is love enough in the face of evil? And when Sofia and Isaac are concealed underground, holding their breath as the Nazis hunt them, will they survive?
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and Orphan Train will be utterly gripped by this heartbreaking and unputdownable tale. This tear-jerking page-turner shows that even if your freedom has been robbed, and your loved ones torn from you, nobody can steal your hope…
