The incredible bestselling true story. For readers of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Diary of Anne Frank
Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Lale's story formed the basis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz and the follow-up novel, Cilka's Journey. In 2021 she published the phenomenal conclusion to the Tattooist trilogy, Three Sisters, after being asked to tell the story of three Holocaust survivors who knew Lale from their time in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Together, her novels have sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. Her exceptional new novel, Sisters Under the Rising Sun, was published in 2023 bringing another heart-wrenching true story to life with experiences of women in Japanese POW camps, how they found bravery in sisterhood and the hope to survive in music.
Extraordinary - moving, confronting and uplifting . . . a story
about the extremes of human behaviour: calculated brutality
alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I recommend it
unreservedly
