I adored this book. It is the story of a young married couple separated by the events of World War 2. He escapes their native Prague. ending up in America; she chooses to stay behind with her family. The chaos of the time causes each of them to think the other dead, and they subsequently remarry.
Many years later at a family event , they finally meet again..
This story begins with that fateful meeting, and takes us back in time to tell of their experiences in the war, including the wife's time in a concentration camp with all that it entails.
I found this to be both beautiful and engrossing..

Definitivamente es un libro más romántico que triste, pero de cierto modo realista ya que nos muestra vivencias de personas que realmente estuvieron en el campo de concentración de Terezin Y la resistencia que estos judíos artistas pusieron a su manera en contra de la Alemania nazi.
En comparación con otros libros que hablan de temas similares (campos de concentración y romance), creo que este es más creíble, menos empalagoso y que te deja un buen sabor de boca con el final inesperado, un final realmente pasó.

Wrenching and riveting. Heart-breaking and -mending in one. Brilliantly written. I also learned more about World War II, another glimpse into the Holocaust that I not yet before had. Richman does history justice by piecing together what really happened and how feeling humans probably would have dealt with it. Highly recommended.
