This true life story follows the lives of 9 incredibly brave young women doing what they can for their country, whilst suffering a horrible ordeal. The story tells us how 9 women came to escape Nazi Germany, from concentration camps to the nightmares of remembering the war for a lifetime. Friendship and laughter kept the women’s spirits high and was much needed in such a dark and distressing time.
An audience captivating story, from the yellow flowers and laughter to the torture this story shows us a lot of emotion from an awful period of time. It is not an easy one to read, I frequently had to stop and take a break before continuing. The nine is a slow read but one that is packed full of information, a story to us is a memory for many. History tells us a lot about the war, but this true story gives us an insight to what it was really like for women back then, how it felt to be miles away from your loved ones, fighting each day just to survive another torturous day, no one knew when the war was going to be over but they lived in hope that it would be any day now, the more days they survived the closer they got to being reunited with family. The book has pictures and maps included which gives the audience visuals of the route the nine took and what they looked like.
This book is a slow burner and hard to read as it is very wordy, it’s not a style you can get used to. It is a very interesting story written by the great- niece of one of the nine. The cover of the book is eye catching and very fitting to the story. This story would be perfect for any historian.
