I have not been so moved by a book in a very long time. I haven't cried at a book in a very long time. This book has done both for me.
So well-written and you are so invested in these two girls. Terrible things that went on during that war are so hard to even imagine. The book does not get gory, but doesn't have to. The gore is from the thoughts of the young children.
To me, this is a book that should be listed on the 1001 books to read before you die list.

I bought the book because it was on a list somewhere. I found it difficult to read, such harrowing experiences. In the beginning I had a tough time liking either of the two main characters, maybe because they were so caught up in each other. I did enjoy finding out more about what happened after the camps were decommissioned. I found the ending implausible too, not realistic for the events.
