We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter

3.0

I’m torn about this book. I love the story of this book- an entire family surviving the horrors of the holocaust. The name of the book gives that away. But, the way the story is told lost me. There is not a single survival story that is not remarkable in its own way. However, this book didn’t inspire any emotion while I read it. There was too little information on too many characters. The story jumped from story to story and person to person. The result is a discombobulated story that left me lacking an emotional connection to any of the people in the story. While this story does read like a work of fiction, it’s not a particularly well written book of fiction. I was expecting a lot from this book and was left disappointed.
