Its a simple mistery, characters that are obnoxious and honestly not relatable, overall i just did not like this book.

Thank you netgalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest opinion

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book!

The Storyteller of Auschwitz is released on July 13th 2023!


Similarly to books suchs as the Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Boy in the Stripped Pijamas and even The Diary of Anne Frank, we are following Etty, a jewish woman living in Paris at the time of the second world war. Contrary to all of those books however, you have a very good balance between life outside of Auschwitz and life in the camps, making you actually feel the rope tightening as the jews were more and more oppressed.

I particularly loved this book because of said balance, making me fall in love with the character and not just pitty her. Etty was a person and her own personality before she became a member of a concentration camp.

Keep tissues nearby as you will surely need them with this wonderful book!

This book i must say is the most desorganized thing ever. Without any line of logic, time or even themes, it makes for a boring and annoying read.
The ONLY way i would recommend this book is if you are a huge fan of harry potter and want to read for the sake of it. Other than that you won't miss anything if you read this book.
