I love Heather Morris! If you have read The Tattooist of Auschwitz, specifically, and also Cilka’s Journey, then you will find this book quite interesting, as it fills in the backstory of Heather and Lale’s interviews. In addition to revisiting the characters in these books, as a bonus you receive much information about becoming a better listener. Listening is the foundation for a good relationship and if you want to hone these skills there is much practical information on relating to people of all ages and in all situations. With stories and bullet points there is much to sink your teeth into along with refreshing your mind of the tales of Lale and Cilka. It feels like a two for the price of one book and I am glad that I read it. Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read copy.

I was very interested in reading this memoir by Heather Morris. I knew I would appreciate learning more about Morris and what makes her the author she is, someone Lale Sokolov and other Holocaust survivors entrusted with their stories. Morris’ gift is that of a listener, listening WELL. Her memoir is very inspirational and provides a deeper understanding of what makes her stories so rich and compelling.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

Listening Well is more of a memoir of the author’s time spent with Holocaust survivors listening to their stories. It is very insightful and she gives practical advice on the importance of listening to others and listening well.

I enjoyed reading this one and learning more about the author and the real people behind her stories.
