Publisher's summary

Auschwitz, 1943: I stroke my beautiful baby’s hair. It’s a miracle it’s blonde because it will keep her alive, it will keep her safe. Soon they will come and take Pippa out of Auschwitz-Birkenau–and out of my arms. But while there’s life, there’s hope I might find my daughter again....

An incredible story of one woman’s courage and determination to reunite her family in the aftermath of surviving Auschwitz.

Berlin, 1945: Ester Pasternak walked out of the gates of Auschwitz barely alive. She survived against devastating odds, but her heartbreaking journey is only just beginning. In the camp, Ester gave birth to a tiny fair-haired infant, only for her precious baby to be snatched from her and taken to a German family. Now the war is over, Ester longs to find her little girl.

But Europe is in chaos, Jewish families have been torn apart, and everyone is desperately searching for their loved ones. In every orphanage and hospital she visits, Ester searches the faces of tear-stained toddlers; each mop of blonde hair and pair of blue eyes she sees sets her heart racing....

But as the months and the years tick by, the possibility of finding her daughter shrinks smaller and smaller. And Ester starts to wonder if little Pippa is even safe or whether the miracle that saved her has now put her in even more danger....

Will Ester ever be able to find the child whose tattoo matches her own? Or is she already too late?

A completely gripping and emotional WW2 novel of one woman’s bravery and determination to hold on to hope in a world torn apart by war. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network, and The Nightingale.

Thoroughly enjoyed this!

I have read many WW2 era fictional novels but never one about the Berlin Wall. This was both informative and touching!

fascinating twist of characters

Jewish holocaust is relived in an emotionally twisted plot of characters and events within a family of children by birth and adoption. Heartwrenching and intriguing.

Informative

These books have been heartbreaking, encouraging and beautiful. It’s these stories that need to be shared and remembered. The truth is hard to hear sometimes but very much needed.
