This story follows three Slovakian sisters， Livia， Magda， and Cibi。 In 1929， when the girls were very young， their father made them promise to stay together， no matter what happened。 In 1942， fifteen year old Livia and nineteen year old Cibi are rounded up and taken to Auschwitz while their seventeen year old sister， Magda， escapes the roundup because she is in the nearby hospital。 Eventually Magda joins them during their last year at the camp， once she， their mother， and their grandfather are a This story follows three Slovakian sisters， Livia， Magda， and Cibi。 In 1929， when the girls were very young， their father made them promise to stay together， no matter what happened。 In 1942， fifteen year old Livia and nineteen year old Cibi are rounded up and taken to Auschwitz while their seventeen year old sister， Magda， escapes the roundup because she is in the nearby hospital。 Eventually Magda joins them during their last year at the camp， once she， their mother， and their grandfather are also rounded up。 There aren't many Auschwitz/Birkenau survivors left but Heather Morris was able to talk with Livia， Magda， and their families， in 2019/2020， about their experiences before， during and after their lives in the concentration camps。 The story is made up of real events from their lives and then afterwards， when they are still reviled by many in their home country。 Later all three sisters make their way to their new homeland of Israel。 The stories of millions ended during the war and the concentration camps and it is inspiring to read that there are some survivors who were able to go on and have families and fulfilling lives after their near death experiences。 The story makes clear the feelings of guilt all the survivors felt， in some way or another， for living through what so many did not。 The story is told simply， from the point of view of the girls， while they try to hold true to their promises to their father， throughout their lives。 Thank you to St。 Martin's Press and NetGalley for this ARC。 。。。more

Heather Morris was extremely in-depth in this book， you can tell she put a lot of heart， soul， emotional labour and research into this book。 The details are so vivid that while I was listening to the audiobook I felt like I was actually there and in the midst of the trials and the pain。 The way this story stems from the real-life story of 3 sisters who despite all odds against them survived， where so many others didn’t from even the same kinds of circumstances is so incredible。 If you don’t beli Heather Morris was extremely in-depth in this book， you can tell she put a lot of heart， soul， emotional labour and research into this book。 The details are so vivid that while I was listening to the audiobook I felt like I was actually there and in the midst of the trials and the pain。 The way this story stems from the real-life story of 3 sisters who despite all odds against them survived， where so many others didn’t from even the same kinds of circumstances is so incredible。 If you don’t believe in miracles before you read this book you will after。 There is no way you can’t believe in God or a Higher power after reading this book。 It is meant to shake you up， make you realize the power beyond yourself， and give you hope。 I truly did enjoy this book on so many deep levels。 I felt a connection in the familial aspects， I felt deep sorrow for those who suffered the Holocaust and the guilt in surviving when so many others didn’t。 That is a very palpable thing to have。 In my own experience of survivors' guilt， I could relate to this on many levels even though I never experienced anything to the level of the Holocaust。 The true will to survive these sisters had is unmatched in many stories I’ve read about World War 2。*****I received this book from NetGalley through the publishers at St。 Martin's Press and MacMillian Audio Productions in exchange for my honest review***** 。。。more

Sisterly bonds and the will to survive are the two strongest themes of this book。 As a fan of historical fiction， I am always interested in a unique perspective on WWII。 The horror and sadness of concentration camps can only be experienced so many times through books。 Although Three Sisters spends much time on the terror of the Third Reich， it also takes us on a journey of the sisters bonds both before and after the war， in that way highlighting the hope and the love that their family shared。 Th Sisterly bonds and the will to survive are the two strongest themes of this book。 As a fan of historical fiction， I am always interested in a unique perspective on WWII。 The horror and sadness of concentration camps can only be experienced so many times through books。 Although Three Sisters spends much time on the terror of the Third Reich， it also takes us on a journey of the sisters bonds both before and after the war， in that way highlighting the hope and the love that their family shared。 The fact that these women are real and did survive， in and of itself is uplifting。 I appreciate that the author， Heather Morris， met a couple of the sisters and family members so that though fictionalized， much is based on facts。 We rarely see what happened to survivors of the Holocaust， this book showed us not only how hard it was to assimilate back home after the war but the chance these women took in starting life over in the new country of Israel。 Thanks to NetGalley for the audio addition of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Heather Morris's stories simply astound me。 She writes about one of the most horrific times in history and yet is able to create characters so loving and real that they still give us hope。 Three Sisters is based on a true story of 3 Jewish sisters from Slovakia who survived World War II in Auschwitz and Birkenau extermination camps by honouring their father's dying wish that they would always stick together。 This is the story of how they survived both during the war and afterwards， and the effec Heather Morris's stories simply astound me。 She writes about one of the most horrific times in history and yet is able to create characters so loving and real that they still give us hope。 Three Sisters is based on a true story of 3 Jewish sisters from Slovakia who survived World War II in Auschwitz and Birkenau extermination camps by honouring their father's dying wish that they would always stick together。 This is the story of how they survived both during the war and afterwards， and the effects it had on them for the rest of their lives， and it is both heartbreaking and amazing。 Livia， Cibi and Magda brought their story to Heather Morris themselves and asked her to write it for them， and the words of many of their family members are also included in afterwords at the end of the book。 The audiobook was narrated by Finty Williams with great heart and compassion and I'd highly recommend this book in either format。 。。。more

I received a copy of Three Sisters as a result of a Goodreads giveaway。 Perhaps because of my European Jewish ancestry， but even more importantly due to the fact that it is a beautiful read， I was moved and inspired by the book。 The book is a testament to love and devotion and resilience。 Against unimaginable odds， three sisters survived the worst genocide the world has ever known。 Heather Morris delivers a remarkable and powerful tribute to these three women。

There can never be too many stories about the mostly Jewish experience in the death camps of WWII。 It is a horrible truth that needs to be remembered。 This story is based on the experiences of 3 teenage sisters in Auschwitz and their life afterward in the new state of Israel。 While the facts are emotional and compelling， the writing， for me， didn’t seem to bear the weight of the subject。Thanks to NetGalley and St， Martin’s Press for the ARC to read and review。

I have read the author's first two books in this series， "The Tattooist of Auschwitz " and "Cilka's Journey" and found both of them to be deeply emotional true stories of love， courage， bravery and the resilience of the human spirit。 This story is of three sisters， who when they were very young made a promise to their father that they would stay together， to always take care of each other and be there for each other no matter what。 Quite a heavy promise to uphold if you ask me。 When the war arri I have read the author's first two books in this series， "The Tattooist of Auschwitz " and "Cilka's Journey" and found both of them to be deeply emotional true stories of love， courage， bravery and the resilience of the human spirit。 This story is of three sisters， who when they were very young made a promise to their father that they would stay together， to always take care of each other and be there for each other no matter what。 Quite a heavy promise to uphold if you ask me。 When the war arrives， and the youngest sister is ordered to go to a "work camp"， the oldest Cibi joins her， upholding that long ago promise。 The middle sister is sick in the hospital at the time and is left behind with their mother and grandfather。 The two sisters are taken to Auschwitz， where they quickly learn the true horrors of Nazis camps。 Although Magda， the middle sister wants to follow her other two sisters and find them， she obeys the wishes of her mother and grandfather and hides from the Nazis for as long as she can。 Finally they come not only for Magda but for the rest of the family as well。 Magda is separated from her mother and grandfather， but eventually despite all odds ends up in the same camp as her two sisters， where they are soon reunited。 The sister's story is a great story of survival and love and I do not want to detract from that in any way。 It is their personal story of surviving a living hell that we as readers will never fully comprehend。 That being said， I must say that I don't feel this story has held up to the standards of the previous two。 Their time in the camps felt glossed over and to me just seemed like they had it too easy compared to some other books I have read。 I realize the focus of the story was on the sister's relationships with each other and the love of family， but I just feel that some of the story was written in a unrealistic style for the situations they were in。 And to take the promise so literally， that they had to physically be together to be there for one another I found a little bit too much also， very unrealistic。 After saying all this I must say that the afterwards at the end of the book were a pleasant and welcome surprise。 If nothing else they made the reading worth it。 It was great to get the points of view of the surviving sisters and of their family members， this is what really touched me， hearing how all of this has affected generations upon generations and continues to do so。 Reading the words of the family members we see that the Holocaust has continued to leave its mark on generations of families and it is something that should be written about， should be kept alive so that we do not forget the evil that lurks in the shadows， so that this horrible period in history is never repeated again。 I would recommend this book to historical fiction fans， just don't expect a real heavy read， it does tell of the horrors of the camps， but not in great detail。 It is a good story of sisterly love and devotion which makes it worthwhile to read。 I feel every survivor of that horrible time should have their story told， if somehow possible。 One is no more or less than the other， they are all stories we need to hear and learn from。 Thank you to St。 Martin's Press and Net Galley for the free ARC of this novel， I am leaving my honest review in return 。。。more

Heather Morris brought us The Tattooist of Auschwitz， Cilka’s Journey and Stories of Hope and she now brings us Three Sisters。 Ms。 Morris has a talent and heart for bringing us special stories of World War II Jewish prisoners of war rounded up by the Nazis。 The Nazis killed 6，000，000 Jews and children numbering 1，500，000。 This book is a tribute to Three Sisters who made a promise to their father to always stay together and take care of one another。 A promise that made them survivors。 I read thes Heather Morris brought us The Tattooist of Auschwitz， Cilka’s Journey and Stories of Hope and she now brings us Three Sisters。 Ms。 Morris has a talent and heart for bringing us special stories of World War II Jewish prisoners of war rounded up by the Nazis。 The Nazis killed 6，000，000 Jews and children numbering 1，500，000。 This book is a tribute to Three Sisters who made a promise to their father to always stay together and take care of one another。 A promise that made them survivors。 I read these books while my heart broke and my eyes cried。 They are both heart-wrenching and heartwarming。 I love that these sisters honored their promise and had a love that enabled them to have a close relationship。 The days spent in the prison camp were hard to read about。 Although they were hard， it is something we need to know and remember。 We need to be vigilant that something like this never happens again。 Ms。 Morris puts a lot of research into her books。 She has met the people she writes about giving us honest and raw stories。 I have learned so much reading her books。 I have great admiration for the survivors and great sorrow for those that were killed because of age， illness or disability。 I’m honored to have read these books。 They are well worth the time。 They are worth the thoughts， tears and heartbreak I experienced。 I received a complimentary copy of this book from #StMartinsPress and #Netgalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

Another beautiful novel by Heather Morris。 She captured the hope and horror of WWII （and the years after） for yet another group of brave souls。 I would imagine that she will continue to be approached to tell these stories， and I will cry my way through every one。

In Three Sisters Heather Morris has brought to life the story of what three sisters lived through during World War II。 Ms Morris has the reader living through how the sisters ended up in Auschwitz and Birkenau prison camps， to freedom， and finally the journey to Israel。 I want to thank NetGalley and St。 Martin's Press for an early copy to review。 In Three Sisters Heather Morris has brought to life the story of what three sisters lived through during World War II。 Ms Morris has the reader living through how the sisters ended up in Auschwitz and Birkenau prison camps， to freedom， and finally the journey to Israel。 I want to thank NetGalley and St。 Martin's Press for an early copy to review。 。。。more

Heather Morris did it again。 The way she makes such a hard historical subject enjoyable to read is a true gift。 I literally couldn't put this one down。 I know that it says it's # 3 in the series but I only picked up on one or two references that I recognized from the other books so I do believe it can be read as a stand alone book。 The resilience and grit of the three sisters portrayed in this book will stay with me for a long time。 We can never truly imagine what the Jews endured at the hands o Heather Morris did it again。 The way she makes such a hard historical subject enjoyable to read is a true gift。 I literally couldn't put this one down。 I know that it says it's # 3 in the series but I only picked up on one or two references that I recognized from the other books so I do believe it can be read as a stand alone book。 The resilience and grit of the three sisters portrayed in this book will stay with me for a long time。 We can never truly imagine what the Jews endured at the hands of the Nazis however there were times that the author's descriptions made me feel like I was an outsider looking in。 She did an amazing job with every description。The fact that this is a true story and that at least two of the sisters are still alive for the author to get first hand accounts is awesome。 These stories need to continue being told by the survivors！ 。。。more

I had read the previous book by this author。 I have read so many WW2 books that I wasn’t really looking forward to another one。 While the three sisters endured a lot it wasn’t as hard to read as some others。 They’re strong women and their desire or promise to stay together is what helped them endure all they did。 I thought it was a good story， maybe a bit too long towards the end。 I enjoyed it。Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy
