IMAM NEKOLIKO STVARI DA KAŽEM:
1. ASDKLHAKSJFGAFSGASFIUKAGFSAISUFASF NISAM POGODILA KO JE UBICA, BILA SAM TOLIKO SIGURNA DA SAM NA PRAVOM TRAGU, ALI IPAK JE IRSA BOGINJA ŽANRA.
2. Nisam ovoliko čekala da se neko smuva još od Moldera i Skali, znači HULDAR JE IŠAO SA FREJOM NA GODIŠNJICU MATURE ISUSE MOJ OMILJEN FAN FICTION TROP umalo nisam vrisnula kad ga je pozvala, to bi bilo vrlo neugodno jer sam čitala u pozorištu ahhahahah
3. Da, desila mi se Rori Gilmor situacija, išla sam sa kumom i drugaricom da gledam nešto što se zove Žene kučke (igra Zourana Pavić), znači toliko sam prevrnula očima u drugoj rečenici programa, malo posle toga je žena pored mene glasno podrignula, i pošto mi je bilo neprijatno da izlazim, ja sam izvukla slušalice i kindl i bila srećna mala cvrčkica. Bar dok Zourana nije prvi put zapevala, a gospa pored mene zaigrala.
Toliko za ovo javljanje, sad prelazimo na drugi Irsin roman. Studio?

The author is researching the history of her family which takes her on a difficult but enlightening journey of discovery from pre-war Poland, to the horrendous years of World War II and Nazi persecution, the end of the war and up to the present day; it is an illuminating and heart-breaking story of survival and of the impact the war years had on that generation and on the generations to come.
Now whilst I found the style of writing didn't work for me, the story itself was incredible and therefore I would recommend to people who enjoy this genre as it could work for you as it has for others who have read and reviewed this book. The story itself was amazing and obviously thoroughly researched, I found it quite difficult to relate to either the writing or the characters because it seemed jumbled and didn't flow properly. I feel like this type of stories have to have stronger structure.
It's a heartbreaking and illuminating tale of survival and the effects the war years had on that generation and subsequent generations and I will recommend it to people who are interested in the subject of Holocaust.
Shout out to Edelweiss for sending me a copy. <3
