WWII has become increasingly the subject of historical fictions on my bookshelf, since reading Jessica Shattuck's The Women of the Castle and Wendy Holden's Born Survivors; both books telling their stories through the viewpoint of very different women, all doing what they can to ensure their survival and that of their children.

The Red Ribbon tells the tale of Ella, a young seamstress working in the horrible environment of Auschwitz camp. I am eager to read further to discover more.
