Review #5918 - Dated: 5th of June, 2012 Author: rosielee3 |
This book was a fantastic insight into the personal plight of women in the camps during World War Two. The love, passion and resilience of Rena, her family and her friends is outstanding. Its something I can never imagine of being able to bear, let alone survive how she did. The book is such an eye opener and it is fantastic to read from a women's point of view.
The book is a roller-coaster of emotions, and so raw and chilling that it is a true story, nothing fictional about it. From the little amount of food, to the cold hard beds, the rats, the lice, the wet boots and the scratchy uniforms.Renas Promise makes you feel like you are there living and breathing Auschwitz.
The writing isn't the most amazing I have read, although coming back to it being true, it makes it worthwhile. At times the book drags on, but the overall experience of finishing and reading it is so worth it, it feels like a real accomplishment.
