Any book which is wrote about World War II catches my attention. The fact that tattoos were given to those that were destined to survive does intrigue me. This is not a fact that I am currently aware of, which means I want to know more. As we know from history, the tattoo artist is more than likely a prisoner himself. What is it about this young woman that catches his attention? What is it about her which gives him the will to survive the war? How old are these people? Are they young or older? Were they separated from a spouse and children? What must they endure in order to survive the war? Do they both survive? Do they both die? Does one of them survive? How do they come together and fall in love, in such horrific circumstances and surroundings?
