What I can say is that this book is wonderfully written and is the true life story of Cibi, Magda and Livia Meller, three young Slovakian Jewish sisters who lived and survived against all odds the horror of the death camps in Auschwitz Germany during World War II.

The third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris is equally as good as the previous two. The Three Sisters is, as the name suggests, about three sisters and the ties that bind a family. What sets this book apart is that roughly 40% is set after Cibi, Magda and Livi escape the camp and one-third of the story tells of their lives in the Promised Land. As with Morris’ other two books, the story is true and was created with the help of many interviews. At the end of the book are several afterwords — one from Livi and the others from descendants. These end notes provide a sense of closure and validate that the story is about three real sisters and their time in Auschwitz and thereafter.

Cibi and Magda exchange a glance. Livi looks from sister to sister to father, knowing that something solemn has been agreed, but with little idea of what it means.

Three Sisters Act 4, Julius West's translation: "NATASHA: Mihail Ivanitch Protopopov will sit with little Sophie, and Andrei Sergeyevitch can take little Bobby out. ... [Stage direction] ANDREY wheels out the perambulator in which BOBBY is sitting."

Masha has to be pulled, sobbing, from Vershinin's arms, but her husband compassionately asks that they start again. Olga has reluctantly accepted the position of permanent headmistress of the school where she teaches and is moving out. She is taking Anfisa with her, rescuing the elderly woman from Natasha. I wanted to appreciate this more than I did. The story is based on real women, and my heart went out to these women. Their strength was amazing, especially their ability to put the needs of their sisters ahead of their own needs. As is said in the Afterword, the story is a testament to the power of love and devotion. But for me, I want to learn something new from historical fiction. This is why I blame the synopsis of the book. I expected a book about the influx of Jews to Israel after the war. It’s what I wanted to learn about. The synopsis literally says “ And this is where the story begins. From there, the three sisters travel to Israel, to their new home.” But it’s not where the story begins. The last 40% of the book describes their return to Slovakia and their attempt to reach Israel. I was much more interested in this part of the book, as it was all new to me. I wish the book had focused more on this time in their lives. I also wished that Morris had found a way to give us more details about the formation of the new country. There’s a small disconnect for me in how Heather Morris tells these stories, and I think it’s because she’s a screenwriter. The intimacy isn’t quite there. That said, the content of the books could not be more exceptional, and I’m grateful these stories have been told. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Finty Williams and she did a fantastic job and kept me captivated the entire time.Menachem smiles. Cibi will always have a go, it’s what he loves most about her. “That’s close, my darling, but a promise can involve more than two people. I want this promise to be shared between the three of you. Livi is not going to understand, so I need you to keep talking to her about it, until she does.” What? You just said she was going to get better!” Chaya explodes. She stands up, grabbing the table for support.
