Cilka’s Journey

Cilka’s Journey is a haunting tale of resilience and hope in the face of unimaginable adversity. Morris’s vivid prose transports readers to the harsh world of a Siberian gulag, where we follow Cilka as she navigates the brutal realities of life as a prisoner. Through her eyes, we witness both the depths of human cruelty and the heights of compassion. This gripping narrative left me pondering the strength of the human spirit long after I turned the final page.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz

I was hesitant to read another Holocaust story, but this one captivated me. Based on true events, it follows Lale, a Jewish prisoner forced to tattoo numbers on fellow inmates at Auschwitz. Amidst unimaginable horror, he finds love with Gita, a young woman he tattoos. Morris’s restrained prose lets the raw power of their story shine through. It’s a testament to human resilience and the enduring strength of love, even in humanity’s darkest hour.
