Three Sisters

Three Sisters by Heather Morris is a haunting and inspiring story set against the backdrop of the Holocaust. The novel tells the heart-wrenching yet uplifting tale of three Slovakian Jewish sisters, Cibi, Magda, and Livia, bound by a promise they made to their father to always take care of each other, and stay together no matter what. As the horrors of World War II unfold, this promise becomes their guiding force in the face of unfathomable brutality.

When Livia is just 15 years old, she is ordered to report to Auschwitz by the Nazis. True to their vow, 19-year-old Cibi insists on accompanying Livia, determined to help her survive or share her fate. Their journey through the heart of darkness begins, as they face the unspeakable horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau together.

Meanwhile, the middle sister Magda, at 17, remains with their mother and grandfather, hiding from the Nazis in a neighbour's attic and the nearby forest. Despite her efforts to avoid capture, Magda too eventually finds herself on a harrowing journey to the death camp where she is reunited with her sisters. United again, the three sisters draw strength from their love for one another and their childhood promise. Surrounded by the constant threat of death, they cling to hope, vowing that they will survive against all odds.

Heather Morris, acclaimed author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey, brings her impeccable storytelling skills to this remarkable true story of resilience, sacrifice, and enduring love. Three Sisters is a testament to the unbreakable bond of family, demonstrating that even in the darkest times, the human spirit can shine through.

This powerful new novel, which continues Morris's exploration of true life stories from the Holocaust, will capture your heart and leave you profoundly moved by the incredible courage exhibited by Cibi, Magda, and Livia. Their promise to each other becomes a beacon of hope in a place devoid of humanity, showing that even in the face of overwhelming evil, love and determination can help one endure and overcome.
