Heather Morris never fails to make me cry! The book follows three sisters (obviously lol) reuniting after being split up during the Nazi occupation and the traumas they each endured. Trigger Warnings obviously, this is based on WW2, concentration camps and death March.

A few years ago, I was captivated by the Tatooist of Auschwitz book, so I was anxious to start reading the third book in this series, Three Sisters. I am currently on a wait list for the second book in the series!

Three Sisters did not disappoint. This told the story of three Jewish sisters, Cibi, Magda, and Livi, during World War II. The sisters try to avoid capture by the Germans, and protect their mother and grandfather, but two of the sisters end up at Auschwitz. Although it was hard to read about so much suffering, it is really eye opening and important to understand what the Jewish people went through at the hands of the Nazis during this time period. It was hard to put the book down, as I found myself cheering on the sisters to keep on living and try to get out safely. They suffered physically and mentally, lost loved ones, and were eventually joined by their third sister. They make some allies along the way, and strive to stay alive and stay together.

The sisters are on a march out of Auschwitz in 1945, when they escape. Their resilient spirits are evident as they fight the odds and survive on their own. They meet and bond with other survivors on the way. As the girls begin to build a new life for themselves, their family expands, and they decide to travel to Israel to continue their new life and newfound freedom. This change is not easy, but after all that the girls have gone through, they know that they have to continue to stick together.

This was a quick read, only because I was so anxious to see what would happen to the girls next. There were some disturbing details about Auschwitz included, but the author did not go into too much detail. It was just the necessary amount to convey what the prisoners had to deal with on a daily basis, and a reminder that many did not make it out alive. I would highly recommend reading this story if you are interested in World War II.

Wow. Three Sisters (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, #3) should be required reading. A Jewish Slovakian father asks his three daughters to promise to take care of each other. The sisters have no idea what they have committed to in pre-WWII Europe. The story follows the sisters and the rest of their family as they contend with the Nazi's takeover and the death camps. Two of the sisters are sent to Auschwitz and Birkenau. This book doesn't really hold back on the treatment of the prisoners and the extermination of hundreds of thousands. Heather Morris does an excellent job of keeping the reader's attention. At times the story is extremely graphic. I would highly recommend Three Sisters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Heather Morris for the opportunity to read and review Three Sisters.
As with the other two books in this series, I needed to sit with my thoughts for a bit prior to writing my review. Always a sign of a good book.

Livia, Magda and Cibi all make a promise to their dying father that they will always stay together and take care of each other. Each of the sisters take this promise very seriously. The comes WWII the Slovakian family is faced with Nazi round ups of Jews. One sister is hidden while the other 2 go to concentration camps with the other Jews. Each in their own way struggle with their new reality and how the promise is affected.

Three sisters is again a heartwrenching and heartwarming story of the Concentration camps and utter abuse of Jewish people during world war 2. Three sisters is another based on a true story of this horrible time given to us by Heather Morris. It is beautifully told. As a reader I felt the anguish of Livia, Magda and Cibi, yet was still able to feel their joy at times. This is a story of persistence, love and respect., and most of all strength.

I am intentionally not sharing details, because I would not give these three women (actually girls at the time) justice, but highly recommend that readers read this and enjoy the roller coaster of emotions it causes..

THREE SISTERS by Heather Morris is a heart-wrenching story of three sisters whose promise to their dying father keeps them together and alive despite the horrors they experience in the Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. I had previously read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey, the first two books in this series and was looking forward to reading more from this author. All three books are inspired by real people and events in history. Cibi, Magda and Livi, three sisters from Slovakia, wind up together in Auschwitz where, for years, they face horrifying conditions and unthinkable cruelty. Their stories are filled with incredible bravery, resilience and strength. It was hard to read of the atrocities these people faced and the trauma they continued to live with, but their love for one another and their will to live was very uplifting. The Author’s Note, Epilogue and Afterword at the end of THREE SISTERS are very moving and tell the reader what happened to the sisters, their descendants and some of their captors. One thing that sets this book apart from other Holocaust stories I’ve read is that it continued to follow the sisters after they became free and later moved to Israel. I highly recommend this compelling story of survival and hope. Thank you to the author, publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review an early copy.

I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and was blown away by the story. In such a dark and terrible time for the storytellers, the small moments of hope, love and human kindness stood out. This story about three sisters who endure the same horrific life as the tattooist was just as beautiful and as sad. To know what you are reading actually happened is tough to take. Through small acts of kindness, bravery and luck these girls survived to carry on past the hatred and cruel ness to forge beautiful families and lives.
Everyone should read this set of books, these stories can not be forgotten. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

This book is the conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy [disclaimer: I have not read the others--but I don't think it matters; the book can stand alone].

Background: three Slovak sisters: Cibi, Magda, and Livi promise their father they will stay together, no matter what. BUT. Livi and Cibi end up in Auschwitz. Magda has avoided deportation--for a time--by hiding.

This piece of historical fiction [DEFINITELY read the afterwords] follows the sisters from their time in the camps and their struggles to survive to their eventual [re]settlement in Israel. The storyline in Auschwitz/Birkenau is not necessarily new [especially if one is familiar with Holocaust novels].

Although nearly half-way through the book it is just Civi and Livi in Auschwitz, I knew they would be reunited with Magda--after all, the title is Three Sisters! I found some of the reveals prescient and this was a bit of a detraction. And then--quite a leap forward at about 70% in when the book changed from Poland to Israel. The sisters' journey to Israel was one of the more interesting parts of the book.

When in Israel, Magda is employed in the house of President Weizmann as a maid; I thought this part of the dialog almost YAish. Add in a later interchange between Livi [who replaces Magda as a maid when the latter becomes pregnant] and Prime Minister Ben-Gurion--it struck me as: "This is silly." Spiraled down for me [thankfully near the end].

I found this book quite simplistic.

In the distinct minority of those who loved this book.

Before their father passed, he made his three daughters promise to always stick together and be there for one another. 15 years later, the youngest sister Livi is ordered or Auschwitz. Magda evades the orders by being in the hospital sick, but Cibi will not allow Livi to go alone. Livi and Cibi spend years working in the camps before Magda is sadly captured and brought to the camp. The three sisters must work to keep each other alive and their spirts up to survive.

Heather Morris knows how to write a heart wrenching story. I mean most books about WWII are heart wrenching automatically, but I have just loved Heathers books! The sweet relationship between these sisters was just so heartwarming. The way Cibi and Livi cared for each other while in captivity was just exactly what it felt like you would need to survive such a terrible situation. I thought the theme of guilt throughout the second half of the book was fascinating. Can you imagine surviving these camps but then feeling guilty that others in your life had a harder time in the camps? It just broke my heart to read, but I can see how Magda and the men felt that way. If you loved The Tattooist or Auschwitz or Cilkas Journey, you will love this one!

Heather Morris did it again, what a beautifully written and so well researched book. First came The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey and now...Three Sisters.

Against all odds, Livia, Magda, and Cibi not only reunited in Auschwitz, but lived to tell their stories. You will not be able to put this down, it is incredible heartbreaking but also shows the strength and love of 3 women who kept their Father's promise. Just beautiful.

Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Heather Morris for an ARC.
Heartbreaking , Tragic, and Tear Jerking, this book deserves more than five stars. Oh My, I just couldn't stop reading it. The girls in this book showed so much courage and fortitude. To know that it is based on some real characters is just so sad. I don't know how anyone could go through what these girls did and live. It is no wonder that they fought the memories for so long.
This book is wonderful! This is the true story of 3 sisters, Cibi, Magda and Livi, who made a promise to their father before he died that they will always protect one another. Years later, when all three were reunited in Auschwitz, this promise would be put to the test again and again. Will they be able to survive the cruelty, heartbreak, near starvation and so damn much more!?
Three Sisters moves along at a good pace and then you get to the end of the story to the Epilogue, Author's Note and the Afterword. I am gutted! God bless the author's that can tell these stories and more importantly, God bless those that were not able to survive and those that did.
We all know that the stories of the holocaust are horrifying. This story does include some moments sharing a brief glimpse of the horrors to come, but this is mainly the story of those who survived, based on the real stories that were shared with the author. What gave them the incentive, the courage to have hope, to believe that there was reason for hope even when the circumstances offered them no obvious reasons to continue to believe - in this case, it was the promise they made to their father.
Hope is the promise of tomorrow.

I love historical fictions and I enjoyed Heather Morris’ last two novels. I found the bond that the three sisters have is beautiful. Reading about the sisters’ experiences was so interesting as well as heartbreaking that I was very invested in their story. The only things that kept me from giving this book 5 stars is that I found the book a little choppy- days/months/ interactions jumped very often and it took me a sentence or two to realize that the topic had changed. Lastly, I found the entire last part of the novel (it’s divided into 3 parts), could have been another book. I was very motivated to read about the sisters experiences in the concentration camps but when it got to the third part, I lost a lot of that motivation and some interest as their experiences depicted in the third part paled in comparison to the hardships of being prisoners.

Thank you Heather Morris for sharing the sisters’ story as it overall was so lovely to read. Having people thrive despite what they went through is truly uplifting.

The fact that this story is real Is heartbreaking to me. The atrocities the three sisters endured while maintaining strength and hope is incredible. The writing was beautiful and so emotional. It centered around the true meaning of family and the amazing will to survive and overcome. It was an honour reading about the grace of these three sisters.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc

WOW!!! This book is at the top of my list for 2021. I loved everything. The sisters and family go through unimaginable horror and hardship. I had previously read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey. This book made me cry and not many books affect me that way. I wish I could give more stars. Many thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and the Author for allowing me to read this most incredible book.

Heather Morris is up there with my all-time favorite authors. Every time I pick up one of her books, I know I am in for a great read. This one did not disappoint.
Her research into this story was stellar, she kept it true, timelines were observed and she made this a heartfelt journey for us to follow the three sisters love and dedication to each other. I came to care for all three of them. Her descriptions of life in the camps made me feel as if I was there, I could feel the fleas, the cold, the hard concrete and envision the mail room. I don’t know how she does it, but she does it really really well.
Another great WWII story. Read this in less than 2 days, didn’t want to put it down. Highly recommend.
I received an ARC from St. Martin’s Press along with NetGalley for my honest review. Hands down 5 stars…..

I chose this book because of the title but when I saw it was set in a concentration camp like her earlier one, I was a bit put off. To be honest, I’m a bit jaded with Nazi Germany but even writing that makes me feel horrible. I did appreciate The Tattooist of Auschwitz. I can’t say I loved this book – the topic is horrific, but I do appreciate the research and detail included in this novel and especially the fact that it is based on real people’s experience.

If you liked Morris’ other novels, you will love this one too. I enjoy books about siblings, especially sisters. I do love a sibling saga and this one really did satisfy. These sisters really have each other’s back. Their promise to their grandfather and the strength of their bonds to each other help them all stay together and survive. These women are believable characters as they did/do really exist. I liked that they aren’t exactly portrayed as angelic or perfect, and their sisterly love felt authentic to me as a sister.

The author’s writing is very easy to read. I enjoyed the second part of this book; their trip to and time spent in Israel. This was very interesting as I don’t recall any recent book that describes the journey of young female Jews to Israel after WW11 and how their experiences of trauma affect their lives and those of their families. The concept of guilt over not suffering as much as some others was heartbreaking to read about.

This story is ultimately very sad but hopeful. I really appreciated the author’s note and enjoyed the letters from the survivors recounting how this book came into being. These stories need to be retold and retold so we never forget.

Thank you, Heather Morris, NetGalley and St. Martin's press.

Thank you to Netgalley, Heather Morris, St. Martin's Press for giving me a copy of Three Sisters to read and review. The following is my honest opinion.

The Holocaust is troubling to hear about, but it happened & some of the survivors have shared their stories throughout the years. Three Sisters tells the story of Cibi, Magda, & Livi survived the Holocaust and were forced to start over when it ended.

The sister’s story is well written. The description of Auschwitz is chilling. The atrocities are unimaginable. The love amongst sisters & a promise made as children helped them fight off death.

The lack of human needs in the camps was well documented; the sinister atmosphere clear. This book then continued telling about their life after Auschwitz. There was nothing left for them. Starting over wasn’t easy for the trio of sisters.

I especially liked reading the interviews with the sisters who are still alive and their family members. They put the whole story in perspective. Heather Morris did a tremendous job telling their story.

If you have even a speck of interest in this part of history, make sure you grab a copy of Three Sisters. It is emotional & informative.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have been waiting on this book, and it didn't disappoint. Cibi , Livi, and Magda are so inspiring. They show true strength in their journey and their bond as sisters. I highly recommend everyone to read all three in this series!!

Based on a true story, I absolutely loved the third installment in this series! It was emotional and full of heart and a heartwarming read.

When I started this book, I almost started crying. I have read quite a few books about the horrible atrocities that Jewish people had to endure during the war with Germany. Now I had a book about three young Jewish sisters that were taken from their family to “work” for the Nazis. My family consists of three sisters. We aren’t Jewish but we are very close. It was a hard read but it was a good story. The girls made a promise to their father that they would stick together and look after each other. This wasn’t difficult until the Nazi police arrived going door to door looking for young girls to go to their work camps to work. I’m not going into the details about what they endured but the author made sure you knew just how horrible it was but then kept the story going without it being too morbid. I’m glad I stuck with it.. I’m glad I got to know this family. I will not be searching out another book written about this time period for awhile but I will be recommending this book to family and friends. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy for my honest review.

I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey and loved them both. I was very excited to read this third Holocaust book from Heather Morris.

The book follows the lives of three sisters— Cibi, Magda and Livi— as they are taken from their homes, sent to the death camps, and ultimately live their lives after.

The book is very good but it didn’t grab me the way the other two did. The bond the sisters share is beautiful and the story is well told. Heather Morris is a skilled writer and does their horror story justice here. For me the story dragged a little though. I want sure how it was going to end because there wasn’t really a natural ending point when you’re writing
About someone’s life. Overall it’s worth reading and definitely take the time to read the afterword by the family members

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. All
