Three Sisters

Description

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

Years later, at just fifteen, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only nineteen herself, remembers their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister or die with her. Magda, age seventeen, escapes capture for a time, but eventually she too is transported to the death camp.

Reunited, the three sisters make another promise: that they will live. Their fight for survival takes them from the hell of Auschwitz-Birkenau 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 one another 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 this astonishing new novel, Three sisters.
