WILL BREAK YOUR HEART THEIR JOURNEY WILL FILL YOU WITH HOPE YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR NAMES When they are little girls, Cibi,
Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will
stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15, Livia is
ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers
their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister,
or die with her. Together, they fight to survive through
unimaginable cruelty and hardship. Magda, only 17, stays with her
mother and grandfather, hiding out in a neighbour's attic or in the
forest when the Nazi militia come to round up friends, neighbours
and family. She escapes for a time, but eventually she too is
captured and transported to the death camp. In Auschwitz-Birkenau
the three sisters are reunited and, remembering their father, they
make a new promise, this time to each other: That they will
survive. Three Sisters is a beautiful story of hope in the hardest
of times and of finding love after loss. Heather Morris is the
global bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's
Journey, which have sold eight million copies worldwide. Three
Sisters is her third novel, and the final piece in the phenomenon
that is the Tattooist of Auschwitz series.
