Beautiful and heartbreaking. Until the very end, I hoped Annika and Laura would survive.When I was in the seventh or eighth grade, Dona, Dona, Dona, the song this book references, was something we were taught. Seeing how Rose Christo ties it in to the concentration camps is devastating, but it made perfect sense. However, while she touched on atrocities, she didn't dwell on them and go into heinous detail.So yes, heartbreaking, but definitely worth the read.What a deep and thought provoking novelThis novel is beautifully heartwrenching. If you're looking for a happy, fluffy book, this is not it. However, if you're looking for a novel that will send your emotions into a talespin, provide hope and a frisson of happiness and light one minute; then fill you with sadness,anger, injustice, and so many other feelings in the next this is the book for you. World War II, the holocaust in particular, has always fascinated me. I didn't care for the ending at
"The sky is a seaof pale sunlight and clouds gilded goldand I am falling into it; I am drifting away.My heart, heavy, floats away."This book is so, so beautiful but in an immensely heartbreaking way. It's going to haunt you for days and it should because Rose Christo wrote with a brutal honesty, describing the horrors of concentration camp in ways that's going to twist your heart. And it's not just about the pain of victims, it's not just about the grief of losing your family and watching them
After visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp, I felt even more compelled to learn about this terrible piece of history. I was searching for a more historic book, but came upon this one... After seeing that the main character is from a small town named Mittenwald, that I also visited this month, I became more intrigued. Mittenwald, now, is a small town in Germany that is known for its violins & skilled makers so how ironic that the camp leaders give the main character a violin so that she can
Im still struggling with this book, to be honest. Its definitely 5 stars, dont get me wrong. Its just so hard because it was such an emotional journey. I knew the outcome before I read it (from guessing) so I was prepared for everything this book threw at me, yet I still found myself clinging to hope that it would be different.The book starts off with a bang where Annika, the protagonist and her family are entering the labor camp. It doesnt take long for them to be separated. And then, after

Absolutely brilliant.The story takes place in Dachau concentration camp, it is beautifully written and the characters really draw you in.One thing I loved about this book was how it started. I would usually have to read the first two pages of a new book to see if it's my kind of thing, but just reading the first line made me want to sit there all day and read it nonstop.The story follows Annika, a young Jewish girl who was sent to Dachau with her family, from whom she's quickly separated.
