The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive by Lucy Adlington

2.0

I feel like I should have expected this, but the lengthy descriptions of clothing and fashion in the first 100 pages was just brutal to get through. I knew a large part of this book would be about clothing and the power it has to build someone up or tear them down, but the descriptions of the styles and the listing of parts of the outfits.... it was a lot. I feel like once I got to the substance of the book I was already burnt out.
