Summary

A promise to stay together。
An unbreakable bond。
A fierce will to survive。


From international bestselling author Heather Morris comes the breathtaking conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy。


When they are girls, Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will stay together, no matter what。

Years later, at just 15 years old, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis。 Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister, or die with her。

In their hometown in Slovakia, 17-year-old Magda hides, desperate to evade the barbaric Nazi forces。 But it is not long before she is captured and condemned to Auschwitz。

In the horror of the death camp, these three beautiful sisters are reunited。 Though traumatised by their experiences, they are together。

They make another promise: that they will live。 Their fight for survival takes them from the hell of Auschwitz, to a death march across war-torn Europe and eventually home to Slovakia, now under iron Communist rule。 Determined to begin again, they embark on a voyage of renewal, to the new Jewish homeland, Israel。

Rich in vivid detail, and beautifully told, Three Sisters will break your heart, but leave you amazed and uplifted by the courage and fierce love of three sisters, whose promise to each other kept them alive。 Two of the sisters are in Israel today, surrounded by family and friends。 They have chosen Heather Morris to reimagine their story in her astonishing new novel, Three Sisters。

Reviews

Jess Whiteley

A different angle on an Auschwitz experience, emotional read - and not too samey compared with others written by Morris。

Ann Rigby

Another compulsive read about the holocaust and mirrors the current events in the East today。

Lucy

The story was realistic in its portrayal of life during WWII, both before detention and eventually in the german concentration camps。 The mention of Cilka and Lael from the first 2 book tied the series together nicely。 I enjoyed hearing about the subsequent immigration to newly formed Israel。

Dortie Ford

Post war part seemed drawn out。

Melanie

If you’re into this, it’s a really good book。

Ella

Moving, harrowing, and uplifting。 Heather Morris has written beautifully about the love of three sisters and their family, which endures despite the horror of what they endure and overcome。 Just like her previous works it highlights that the best of humanity will always endure the worst。

Amazing story of survival! Very well written!

3。5 sterrenIk vond dit boek stukken beter dan het vorige。 Het was mooi om te lezen over de band tussen de zussen, maar ook om te zien hoe ze elkaar overal doorheen hebben gesleept。 Ik moet wel zeggen dat ik het tweede deel wat minder boeiend vond om over te lezen, maar ik snap wel dat het bij het verhaal hoort。 Ook had ik gehoopt dat de vorige personages er nog wat vaker in voor zouden komen。

4。5 stars。 A lovely story of sisterly bonds in the midst of an unthinkable tragedy。 The special favors they were given seemed a bit unrealistic but I’m hopeful they represented a human heart inside of the most awful perpetrators of cruelty

I love reading stories written by Heather Morris because she does a fabulous job of capturing the rawness of the horrific events her stories are based on。 I was particularly touched by this story because I have two sisters and I know just how important that bond is。 One of my favorite parts of her books is always reading about the true lives of the people who inspired each book。 The closeness the three sisters had, and the promise they shared, appeared to be just as special in real life, as it w I love reading stories written by Heather Morris because she does a fabulous job of capturing the rawness of the horrific events her stories are based on。 I was particularly touched by this story because I have two sisters and I know just how important that bond is。 One of my favorite parts of her books is always reading about the true lives of the people who inspired each book。 The closeness the three sisters had, and the promise they shared, appeared to be just as special in real life, as it was in the story。 。。。more

The book caught my attention because a) I have three sisters and b) it's somewhat related to the Tattooist of Auschwitz, which is a really great book。And I wasn't disappointed。 It's a moving story about three sisters and their journey through hell。 It shows really well how incredibly valuable it is to have sisters/ siblings, (especially) if you have a good connection between each other。 The book caught my attention because a) I have three sisters and b) it's somewhat related to the Tattooist of Auschwitz, which is a really great book。And I wasn't disappointed。 It's a moving story about three sisters and their journey through hell。 It shows really well how incredibly valuable it is to have sisters/ siblings, (especially) if you have a good connection between each other。 。。。more

Enjoyed this book but again, as in Heather Morris’s previous books, I seemed to get more from the epilogues and afterwords than the actual book。

This is the final book in the trilogy for me and I have found each one more captivating than the previous ones。 This one was particularly interesting for me due to the handling of their story after the war。 The guilt that each of the girls felt and how they dealt with it was enlightening。 I found it particularly interesting that these girls (and others) fought to survive while others around them were dying horribly。 Yet having survived they felt guilty that they had survived while others didn’t。 This is the final book in the trilogy for me and I have found each one more captivating than the previous ones。 This one was particularly interesting for me due to the handling of their story after the war。 The guilt that each of the girls felt and how they dealt with it was enlightening。 I found it particularly interesting that these girls (and others) fought to survive while others around them were dying horribly。 Yet having survived they felt guilty that they had survived while others didn’t。 Fascinating。 。。。more

What a BEAUTIFUL story。 I did not realise that Morris had actually sat down with holocaust survivors and wrote their story。 This is a must read!

Retta

Such a great story infused with so much history。 Some of the cruelty was difficult to read, but necessary to understand this sad part of history。

This was the first of Heather Morris’s books that I read, and now I want to go back to the first two。 Three Sisters was not only a fierce and brave account of survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but also an uplifting and inspiring story of how the three MIller sisters stuck together, emigrated to Israel when they faced further discrimination AFTER the war, and built new lives and a new country where they felt safe and wanted。 It is amazing to me that the sisters lived as long as they did and were ab This was the first of Heather Morris’s books that I read, and now I want to go back to the first two。 Three Sisters was not only a fierce and brave account of survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but also an uplifting and inspiring story of how the three MIller sisters stuck together, emigrated to Israel when they faced further discrimination AFTER the war, and built new lives and a new country where they felt safe and wanted。 It is amazing to me that the sisters lived as long as they did and were able to tell their stories to the author in such detail。 Sometimes the detail was tedious, sometimes hard to believe (did Livi really not know her head had been shaved? Seriously, she had to have felt it。) and sometimes I wished Morris had included some factual background on what was actually happening in Europe so that we had some context beyond the sisters’ stories。 The book would have been longer but somehow I felt it played out in a vacuum—though that is no doubt exactly how the sisters felt while Imprisoned。Though the book world is filled with WWII novels and non-fiction accounts, I don’t think we can ever have enough reminders as to what can happen when one evil man gets a sick idea in his head, plays to the worst in people, surrounds himself with similarly evil people and yes-men, and goes on to destroy millions and millions of lives—and not just Jews。 It those who fought for freedom from tyranny。 Just today, I happened upon a small cemetery in the town of Liege, Belgium, with perhaps 250 white crosses bearing the names of Frenchmen killed by the Germans between 1942-1945。 Families had left flowers and plaques before some of them。 It just emphasized for me how important books like Three Sisters are in reminding people of what can happen when we fail to act。 。。。more

Another powerful tale of strength and survival during the Holocaust。。。this book tells the story of the three Meller sisters: Cibi, Magda and Livi。 Their story is amazing and this book will be heartbreaking and endearing all at once。 A must read。。。。

Yet again, much like after I finished ‘The tattooist of Auschwitz’ and ‘Cilkas journey’, I am truly in awe of Livi’s, Magda’s and Cibi’s strength, bravery, hope, grit and determination。 Their story is so incredibly harrowing。 Their survival of the most evil, sickening and systemic genocide of history is one everyone needs to read。 Throughout the book, the sisters’ courage shone through the cruelty and darkness surrounding them。 The rawness of this book highlights the way these sisters survived f Yet again, much like after I finished ‘The tattooist of Auschwitz’ and ‘Cilkas journey’, I am truly in awe of Livi’s, Magda’s and Cibi’s strength, bravery, hope, grit and determination。 Their story is so incredibly harrowing。 Their survival of the most evil, sickening and systemic genocide of history is one everyone needs to read。 Throughout the book, the sisters’ courage shone through the cruelty and darkness surrounding them。 The rawness of this book highlights the way these sisters survived for one another and the resilience they had to live another day in the hell of Auschwitz-Birkenau。 Their unwavering love for one another and their promise to keep each other safe is one which kept them alive。 I can’t recommend this enough。 In fact, read all of the books in this series。 They really do open your eyes to the true horrors these innocent victims faced at the hands of the wicked Nazis。 These books make you realise that everyone who suffered in the Holocaust has a different story to tell and that every story is as important as the rest。 。。。more

Don’t skip the afterwords! They are heartwarming。

I absolutely loved this book, I don’t want to include any spoilers but as someone who is fascinated with World War 2 history and who also loved Tattooist of Auschwitz, this was brilliant and a must read。 Heather Morris in my opinion has such an art of bringing historical stories to life, she includes such detail and vivid imagery without it seeming too “poetic”。 It feels like you are watching a film of these girls and the awful tragedy that they are living in。 The story itself is inspiring and i I absolutely loved this book, I don’t want to include any spoilers but as someone who is fascinated with World War 2 history and who also loved Tattooist of Auschwitz, this was brilliant and a must read。 Heather Morris in my opinion has such an art of bringing historical stories to life, she includes such detail and vivid imagery without it seeming too “poetic”。 It feels like you are watching a film of these girls and the awful tragedy that they are living in。 The story itself is inspiring and incredibly moving, I cried more than once and have been visibly shocked multiple times。 The sheer bravery and bond these girls have to each other is incredible and is something that we all aspire to have。 At the end when Heather writes about the different characters in the book and what happened to them was incredibly touching and interesting to read。Overall I would recommend this is anyone in a heartbeat, it is moving, heartbreaking and a story that must be shared。 It’s important that these stories are shared and never forgotten, it allows us to learn from these events to prevent them from never happening again。 An incredible book ☺️ 。。。more

If I could give 3。5 stars, that would be my rating。 Good story, it did drag at times。 I liked the ending in Israel but it could've gone deeper on that story line。 Sometimes the writing and story seemed to lack depth。 Overall, a good historical fiction story written about 3 sisters living through WW2。 The story spanned their entire lives。 If I could give 3。5 stars, that would be my rating。 Good story, it did drag at times。 I liked the ending in Israel but it could've gone deeper on that story line。 Sometimes the writing and story seemed to lack depth。 Overall, a good historical fiction story written about 3 sisters living through WW2。 The story spanned their entire lives。 。。。more

Another great one by Morris! My only qualm is that the end drug on a bit and became repetitive/ more of the same
