Ella is a girl who sews. This is the identity she holds on to throughout her imprisonment in Auschwitz. Along with the other seamstresses she makes friends with, Ella makes clothes for Guards in exchange for the 'luxury' of a job as dressmaker indoors. She sews to survive whilst witnessing the many horrors of a work camp where falling ash is a common sight.
This is a beautifully written tale. I fell in love with Ella and her best friend Rose. I wished, along with them, that they would get their dream dress shop once they escaped. I smiled at their stories and cried at their heartbreak.
This is a beautiful story about a girl who holds on to her identity no matter what. This is the story of a girl who has hope. This is the story of Ella, who sews.
