Three Sisters

Product Information

Having said all that, I do appreciate what Morris tried to do here, which was to relay the sisters’ courage and resilience in surviving the camps and rising above the tragedies they experienced to ultimately live full and flourishing lives. It’s so difficult to imagine that in this world we live in less than one hundred years ago genocide, a horrible abomination to kill Jews was orchestrated, it’s beyond belief! That said, the content of the books could not be more exceptional, and I’m grateful these stories have been told.

This is book about, as the title suggests, three sisters and the man who comes crashing into their lives. When the three sisters made their way back to their childhood home they were disillusioned and disgusted to find someone else living in their home.He has a knack for keeping his readers reading and on the edge of their seats, and gobbling all the words. After their father’s death, Olga, Masha, and Irina find life in their small Russian town stifling and hopeless. We get to see what is happening from the view points of the sisters Sam and Alex as well as business partners Lewis and Damian, Sam's husband Colin, Damian's lover Tina and Lewis and Damian's lawyer Oliver. And as hard it is to read of the suffering, it is also uplifting to learn of life after the war filled with children and grandchildren.

Accidents are not nice and while the author does mention the accident it is the aftermath that he focuses on. La historia comienza cuando su padre, aun siendo unas niñas, les hace prometer que pase lo que pase van a permanecer juntas.

Añado, que la autora fue elegida por las hermanas y su familia para escribir esta historia, después de que algunos familiares leyeran el tatuador de Auschwitz, todo esta explicado en las notas finales de la autora.

The big difference here between this and The Tattooist of Auschwitz is that Morris explores fully what happened to the sisters after the camps were liberated.They were forced to perform strenuous and senseless hard labor each and every day no matter how hot or cold it was outside. To be honest I didn’t really love the whole first half of this book - it was very bleak and didn’t seem to go anywhere so I tended to speed read a lot of it. It’s a bittersweet moment when the three of them are reunited; it really left me conflicted, I was pleased they were together, able to hug each other again but at the same time was devastated that it was in hell, with them facing death every, single day.
