First, a huge thank you to my sister (A) who sent me
this book for my birthday. It's taken a
while to read – not because it is difficult in itself but it does stir up your
thoughts about the past and things that have happened to you. I have been
recommending this book right left and centre so please excuse the enthusiasm.
The book is written by a nonagenarian who is an
Auschwitz survivor and also the most upbeat and integrated person I have ever
met via the written word.
The cover has a quote from Desmond Tutu – "The
Choice is a gift to humanity. One of
those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leave you
forever changed."
Well it certainly has affected me.
This is part autobiography and part thoughts on healing
– which are applicable to everyone. She
doesn't underestimate the difficulty of healing – no matter what the challenges
have been. And we all have had
challenges, right?
So happy to read your review of this book... This book is on my reading wishlist.
