Rose, Ella, Marta and Carla. In another life we might all have been friends together. But this was Birchwood.
As fourteen-year-old Ella begins her first day at work she steps into a world of silks, seams, scissors, pins, hems and trimmings. She is a dressmaker, but this is no ordinary sewing workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients.
This book is captivating from the start. It follows her time in the camp alongside her friends. It looks back at her time with family before the war.
I found this book to be very well written which made it easy to read. It also made me feel part of the story and was easy to picture the story in my mind.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those with an interest in WW2!
