a sincere…moving attempt to speak the unspeakable Source: The Sunday Times<br \><br \>What an extraordinary and important book this is. We need as many memories of the Holocaust as we can retain, and this is a moving and ultimately uplifting story of love, loyalties and friendship amidst the horrors of war. I’m so glad Lale and Gita were eventually able to live long and happy lives together, and thankful that Heather Morris was moved to record their incredible story. It’s a triumph Source: Jill Mansell<br \><br \>Extraordinary – moving, confronting and uplifting . . . a story about the extremes of human behaviour: calculated brutality alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I recommend it unreservedly’ Source: Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project<br \><br \>Based on the true story of Lale Sokolov, who is forced to tattoo numbers on his fellow concentration camp detainees’ arms. Source: The Bookseller<br \><br \>Nothing that I could possibly write here would be eloquent enough to convey to you how powerful and moving this book was. I could go on for pages telling you how well this is written, nothing is overdramatized…she just tell this tale that is at its bare bones a love story. I cried entire buckets of tears. Finally I will use the words of Lale “If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day” that it is. That it is Source: Netgalley Reviewer<br \><br \>What I loved so much about this book is that it actually made me stop and think; each and every one of those people, regardless of their number or rank within the system or whether they survived or didn’t, had their own story. A quite unexpected story in fact of love, despite the odds, within the concentration camps. What’s so beautiful about this book is not actually that it’s true. Because it is both too beautiful and too ugly to really “enjoy” reading such an honest first hand account. What struck me the most was how quickly relationships, and very strong friendships almost akin to family, develop when times are so terrible. A hard-hitting, important book with love at it’s core. A brave story shared with an author who delivers it perfectly for one man, and his love affair, who would not be defeated Source: Netgalley Reviewer<br \><br \>I don’t like reading war time books because they get too depressing or too political. But this one was so different, it gave you hope, that even in the darkest of times if your willpower and faith is strong you can come out successful Source: Book Ninja<br \><br \>It is one of the rarer stories of the Holocaust, that dares to feature romance in such a place of misery, hopelessness and the dearth of birdsong. Love happened, and the unlikely, nay downright impossible, happened, and this heartfelt book is a very enjoyable presentation of that. Source: The Bookbag –2

A beautifully written harrowing story of one man’s will to survive in Auschwitz…it is a story of hope and endurance and a beauty that emerges when all around is painted in black. As a reader you cannot help but be affected by this account the simplicity of the story telling only adds to the poignancy… Source: Library Thing –2

This is an outstanding read…An extremely powerful and absorbing read that had me in tears at the most surprising moments and it will be making an appearance in my Top Ten of 2017. It is due to be published in January 2018 and I hand on heart urge everyone to read it. Source: Batty About Books –2
