Tales such as this one never fail to haunt and surprise me. I find myself learning new things every time.
The Nine tells the true story of the escape of 9 young women from a concentration camp in WWII. It tells the stories of how they all ended up at the camp, and their daring escape to freedom.
True stories from this time always move me in ways other tales cannot. The horror that people had to experience and the bravery of some, will never fail to make my heart ache. I really enjoyed meeting the 9 women, and came to love each of them in their own ways. I feel grateful to have been able to follow their journey and daring escape.
My favourite part of this book was the way it told the story of the lives of the women in the days and years after the war ended. It added an extra dimension to the tale which I haven’t read in other books. However, at times I found the story a little difficult to follow, mainly because it often jumped around quite a lot. But I loved the addition of the photographs, it helped make the story come to life.
I want to thank Readers First, the publishers and author for allowing me to read this book and give my personal thoughts. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone that enjoys books based on true historical events (especially those of WWII), but be warned, this is an emotional and difficult read at times!
