Definitely not my usual genre but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and the tattooist of Auswitch. These are novels but so powerful.
An amazingly riveting book. So well written. Absolutely loved it.
In 1942 Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, notices her long beautiful hair, and forces her separation from the other women prisoners. Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly given, equals survival.
After liberation, Cilka is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a desolate, brutal prison camp in Siberia known as Vorkuta, inside the Arctic Circle.
Innocent and imprisoned once again, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar. When she makes an impression on a female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under unimaginable conditions. Cilka finds endless resources within herself as she confronts death and faces terror, each day a battle for survival. And when she nurses a man called Aleksandr, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.
Based on what is known of Cilka's time in Auschwitz, and on the experience of women in Siberian prison camps, Cilka's Journey is the breathtaking sequel to The Tattooist of Auschwitz. A powerful testament to the triumph of the human will in adversity, Cilka's Journey will make you weep, but it will also leave you with the remarkable story of one woman's fierce determination to survive, against all odds.
‘She was the bravest person I ever met’ – Lale Sokolov, The Tattooist
of Auschwitz
Author Biography
Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is an international number one bestselling
author, who is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In
2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was
introduced to an elderly gentleman who ‘might just have a story worth
telling’. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Their
friendship grew and Lale embarked on a journey of self-scrutiny, entrusting the
innermost details of his life during the Holocaust to her. Heather originally
wrote Lale's story as a screenplay – which ranked high in international
competitions – before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of
Auschwitz. Her second novel, Cilka's Journey, is the sequel to The Tattooist of
Auschwitz.
