A heart-breaking story of survival, where life or death relies on
the smallest chance and happiness can be found in the darkest
times. Fans of The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will fall
in love with this beautiful novel __________ 'She touched the
photograph in its gilt frame that was always on her desk, of a
young, thin woman with very short hair and a baby in her arms. She
had one last story to tell. Theirs. And it began in hell on earth.'
It is 1942 and Eva Adami has boarded a train to Auschwitz. Barely
able to breathe due to the press of bodies and exhausted from
standing up for two days, she can think only of her longed-for
reunion with her husband Michal, who was sent there six months
earlier. But when Eva arrives at Auschwitz, there is no sign of
Michal and the stark reality of the camp comes crashing down upon
her. As she lies heartbroken and shivering on a thin mattress, her
head shaved by rough hands, she hears a whisper. Her bunkmate,
Sofie, is reaching out her hand . . . As the days pass, the two
women learn each other's hopes and dreams - Eva's is that she will
find Michal alive in this terrible place, and Sofie's is that she
will be reunited with her son Tomas, over the border in an
orphanage in Austria. Sofie sees the chance to engineer one last
meeting between Eva and Michal and knows she must take it even if
means befriending the enemy. But when Eva realises she is pregnant
she fears she has endangered both their lives. The women promise to
protect each other's children, should the worst occur. For they are
determined to hold on to the last flower of hope in the shadows and
degradation: their precious children, who they pray will live to
tell their story when they no longer can. __________ A
heart-breaking story of survival, where life or death relies on the
smallest chance and happiness can be found in the darkest times.
Fans of The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will fall in love
with this beautiful novel. Readers are captivated by The Child of
Auschwitz: 'This hauntingly heart-breaking story is one of pure,
instinctual survival. It is a story of fierce friendships,
unbreakable spirits, and the most powerful love possible. In the
terror of their world fallen into darkness, these women found the
smallest cracks where the light came in and stepped into to it with
their lives. I was so spellbound by this captivating, riveting read
that I could not put it down until I read every last word. Highly
recommend The Child of Auschwitz as a must-read' Goodreads
Reviewer, ***** 'The Child of Auschwitz is a beautiful, emotional
story of friendship, family, hope and love. I love reading
historical fiction, so I had high hopes; Lily Graham did not
disappoint! I love the way the story is written. It's hard to
adequately put in to words how amazing this book is' Netgalley
Reviewer, ***** 'This book grabbed me from the first sentence and
didn't let me go for the entire journey. I had goosebumps while
reading . . . It is a beautiful story' Goodreads Reviewer, *****
'What a beautiful emotive book . . . I couldn't put this book down
and while it is all about people suffering at the hands of the
Nazis it also shows the love and friendship that can be found'
Goodreads Reviewer, ***** 'Hope and Promises in the most dire
circumstances . . . What a tragic and realistic story this has
been. Through all the evil there was hope, friendship and love. I
highly recommend this book' Goodreads Reviewer, ????? 'Sensitively
told, it's the story of heartbreak, suffering, starvation, cruelty
and injustice but it's also the tale of the most amazing
resilience, hope, determination and love . . . A most compelling
read that will bring tears to your eyes and realisation of how
lucky we are today' Goodreads Reviewer 'I have always loved a good
historical fiction book, and this one did not disappoint! From the
opening line of the book through the end I was hooked . . . The
characters were well written and very relatable, and you found
yourself rooting for Eva, and even crying at various points of the
book' Goodreads Reviewer 'A deep and thought-provoking novel. It's
remarkable in so many ways and heart-breaking in equal measure. A
unique Holocaust read' The Book Trail 'The Child of Auschwitz is an
emotional roller coaster of a read. Parts were horrific, saddening,
shocking, heart warming, I think I went though every emotion
possible whilst reading it. Even though fiction, for me, the author
gives a very real account of what life was like in the camps as
well as what took place inside them. An absolute must read' By the
