Cilka’s Journey by Heather Morris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Louise Brealey’s amazing voice narrated Heather Morris’s fascinating novel.
This series is so important to read. We need to feel what people felt as this actual crime happened in history. It may be the only way new generations will believe it. Even those who lived through it didn’t believe it until they were nearly dead from the cruelty.
This series is based on facts told to the author by the Tattooist himself. As many in that generation do, holding the unbelievable truths for the protection of body and soul, he finally wanted to talk. He needed someone to listen to his story.
The fiction in this story gives the listener/reader a basis for understanding the human issues involved. I couldn’t stop reading. The sun was up when I finished. The excitement and the truth the author conveyed at the end of the book kept me awake until morning. I wanted to start the next book in the series, but I attempted to sleep.
I was lucky to find this series on Libby, but I know I will have to read them again and again, so I will buy the Audible versions and maybe even the paperback for the record, when I get paid.
