Beautiful story centered on the background of ugly human history.
While the book doesn't spare you (at all) from the horrors of Auschwitz, the story in the forefront is one of strength, the goodness of (some) humanity, and love. There's also an interesting juxtaposition of Laly's strength of will + losing faith versus Gita's strength in faith + losing hope.
I listened to the audio version narrated by Richard Armitage and he did an amazing job of capturing the characters, accents, and emotions.
