I loved the concept for this book and the story was interesting, although somewhat predictable. I found the author’s overuse of certain vocabulary and expressions (such as “incredulous”) to be annoying, as were some of the character development. However, overall it was an enjoyable listen.

This is a profoundly moving story of love & tribulation in war torn Poland. It is the story of a family coming to grips with its own hidden history & frailties. I picked this as one of my "free" books with no idea what was coming. What a wonderful choice it was. I'll likely read it again.

Totally enjoyed.

Liked it c. Secrets every where

Wonderful moving story. Loved the characters and the plot.

A must read!!

Very moving.

I loved this book! So interesting, thoughtful and emotional.

Wonderful listen!

I enjoyed this book. It was not too graphic and you could still feel the pain and suffering endured by the characters. It’s a story of love, courage and sacrifice. I will seek out other books by this author. I really enjoyed the narrator and the use of accents. Well done!

Wonderful story, great listen!

This has become one of my favorite books. Complex family dynamics and rich historical perspective intertwine in a lovely story about perseverance, love and loyalty.

Loved every minute of it!

I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. Narrators were great too.

Wonderful historical fiction of a time we shall never forget in fear that we could return to such a society. Irish American, but full of empathy for all that suffered during that time period. Wonderful narration.

one of my favorites, a beautifully written book. Was heart breaking and lovely and the same time. Narration was perfect as well.

This was a beautifully written book . The way they go between the two strong women .. and tell the story .. had me crying .. I really loved it .

The story and the narration are both excellent. Thanks

It is was a beautiful story. The narrator as very talented. While sad, it was informative! Thank you for having it in your library.

Perfect timing of the interwoven story lines. Beautifully heartfelt. Loved every minute. Made me cry.

Absolutely amazing! I couldn’t stop listening. I finished this in 2 days.

Wonderful listen. Great story.

I love the way this book was written going back and forth between World War II Poland and current-day America. There is a great family story of finding how to love despite our many differences.

I read a lot of books about the Holocaust and this was another good one, although heartbreaking. The reciting of atrocities committed by the Nazis in this book was consistent with historical records. The narrator who voiced the daughter who traveled to Poland spoke very fast. I repeated checked my device to ensure I hadn't accidentally sped up the narration. The other narration was great.

The story grabs you right from the start. The best audio book I've listened to thus far!
