As soon as you set eyes on the front cover, with the striped pyjamas on the barbed wire, you are left in doubt about the theme and seriousness of this story, which tells both the individual and collective tale(s) of nine resistance workers and how they escaped Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
There's also the added poignancy of this being a biographical account written by a relative of one of the nine, and the author's descriptive but sensitive writing style - particularly in the opening few paragraphs of the book - is such that there are times when you could be forgiven for forgetting this is a real story rather than a piece of fiction.
Overall, this is another interesting addition to the many pieces of Holocaust Literature that have been published in recent years.

Powerful!
Gosh, that was powerful.
This is the true story about nine young women brought together under the most heinous of situations but who, together, show the power of friendship amongst the shadow of human depravity and the light of the kindness of strangers.
The book follows each of the nine before, during and after the WWII and whilst this ensured a complete picture was formed it did jump a bit between different times, people and different places which made it difficult to follow and, I think, detracted from the flow somewhat. Despite this, I got a real sense of the personalities and characters of each of the women and it was really interesting to read about the plight of political prisoners and captured resistance fighters during this time period.
By the very nature of this book and it's subject matter, it is not an easy read however the resilience, bravery and courage of these young women deserves to be told and should be told. I also feel that, done sensitively, this could work well on the big screen which would bring this amazing story to the masses.
Thank you to Bonnier Books UK / Manilla Press and NetGalley for my copy in return for an unbiased and unedited review.
