Summary

Summary

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz returns with a masterful new novel that captures the astonishing bravery of ordinary people in extraordinary times.

In 1942, the Nazis come for a Jewish family living in the Montparnasse area of occupied Paris. In the chaos of their arrest, eleven-year-old Josephine runs to the only person she can trust: her piano teacher, Andrée Levallois, a secret French Resistance operative.

Andrée takes her in as a member of the family, spreading their rations and risking everything to keep her safe. But soon the authorities close in, and both Andrée and Josie are caught in a desperate race to stay alive.

Epic in scope and based on real people and historical events, Heather Morris has written a story of breathtaking beauty, at once gripping, heartbreaking, and uplifting.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“To many, this book will be most appreciated for its powerful evocation of the everyday horrors of life as a prisoner in a concentration camp, while others will be heartened by the novel’s message of how true love can transcend even the most hellishly inhuman environments. This is a perfect novel for book clubs and readers of historical fiction.” —Publishers Weekly on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“Like the Nobel Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel’s Night, Morris’ work takes us inside the day-to-day workings of the most notorious German death camp. Over the course of three years, Morris interviewed Lale, teasing out his memories and weaving them into her heart-rending narrative of a Jew whose unlikely forced occupation as a tattooist put him in a position to act with kindness and humanity in a place where both were nearly extinct.” —BookPage on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of hope and survival against incredible odds and the power of love.” —Popsugar
“Based on a true story, the wrenching yet riveting tale of Lale’s determination to survive the camp with Gita is a moving testament to the power of kindness, ingenuity, and hope.” —People on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they’d read a hundred Holocaust stories or none.” —Graeme Simsion, internationally bestselling author of The Rosie Project
“What an extraordinary and important book this is. We need as many memories of the Holocaust as we can retain, and this is a moving and ultimately uplifting story of love, loyalties, and friendship amidst the horrors of war.” —Jill Mansell, internationally bestselling author, on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“As many interviews as I did with Holocaust survivors for the Shoah Foundation and as many devastating testimonies as I heard, I could not stop reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz—an extraordinary story of love so fierce it sustained people enduring the unimaginable. Read it, share it, remember it.” —Jenna Blum, New York Times and international bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family
“A remarkable story of survival and how love triumphed in that lawless hell. A phenomenon.” —The Sunday Times on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“This is a powerful, gut-wrenching tale that is hard to shake off.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“Morris imbues the novel with remarkable suspense.” —Booklist on The Tattooist of Auschwitz
“A moving testament to the power of kindness, ingenuity, and hope.” —People on The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Author Bio: Heather Morris

Author Bio: Heather Morris

Heather Morris is a native of New Zealand, now resident in Australia. For several years, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, she studied and wrote screenplays. In 2003, she was introduced to an elderly gentleman who “might just have a story worth telling.” The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Their friendship grew, and Lale embarked on a journey of self-scrutiny, entrusting to her the innermost details of his life during the Holocaust. She originally wrote Lale’s story as a screenplay, which ranked high in international competitions, before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
