Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Orphan Train and The Nightingale will be gripped.
Tasha must make a heartbreaking decision: will she stay in war-ravaged Europe and cling on to the hope that the person she loves most in the world is alive, or take a long journey across the sea towards an uncertain future? An absolutely unputdownable and heart-wrenching WW2 story of survival against all odds and learning to live and love again.
She knows her mother would want her to take the opportunity but she can\'t bear the thought of leaving Poland without her.
Officially an orphan, Tasha is given the chance to start a new life in the Lake District in England.
But with so many people trying to locate their loved ones in the chaotic aftermath of war finding her feels like an impossible task.
Desperate to be reunited, Tasha asks everyone she meets if they\'ve seen a woman with flame-red hair.
Now she only has a lock of her mother\'s fiery hair.
Tasha was torn from her mother\'s arms by an SS guard days before the gates of Auschwitz opened.
For the first time in months, her heart beats with hope for her future and that of the smaller children who cling to her now.
She has no idea how she continued to live when so many others did not.
Sixteen-year-old Tasha Ancel turns to take one last look at the imposing place that stole her freedom and her childhood.
But what happens now...
We survived.
We\'re free.
I can barely believe it.
Hunger swirls in my stomach and the barren landscape swims before my eyes. 1945, Auschwitz: I stumble out of the gates, tightly grasping the hands of two smaller children
