In 1942, Etty Weil — a Jewish author from Paris — is deported to Auschwitz. Desperate to keep memories of her old life alive, she bonds with fourteen-year-old Danielle and becomes a nightly storyteller, weaving tales to uplift the women in her barracks. But as hope grows, so do risky acts of defiance. When Danielle oversteps dangerous boundaries, Etty must decide how much she’ll sacrifice—her safety, her stories, perhaps her life—to preserve hope for others. Through lyrical prose, the novel explores storytelling as both resistance and lifeline, with critics praising its emotional depth, the strength of Etty’s character, and the transformative bonds she forms in the camp Reviews From the very first page of this book I was hooked… This story had me ugly crying… an emotional rollercoaster… I read this book cover to cover in under 24 hours… One of the most powerful books I have read.’ @thebookreadingblonde. ‘Hands down the best historical fiction book I’ve read… An absolutely amazing, captivating novel… A heart-breaking, moving story that will not only have you crying with the horror that took place but laughing at the stories told.
