The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe

3.0

While the book was impeccably researched and I was so excited to read it, it just didn’t live up to my expectations. I thought the story of how Dita was the librarian and what that entailed was interesting, but after she and her mother left Auschwitz the book felt rushed and boring. I was left wondering where the dialogue and details that were present in the first part of the book went. I was also found some instances of the interweaving of the different storylines to be cumbersome and annoying. Overall, I think it was a good enough book, but not something I would recommend over another book like Number the Stars or Night.
