From Goodreads:
Tory's Tuesday is set in Bialystok, Poland. the year is 1939. The Nazis are rounding up Polish Jews in ghettos all over the country, and Marissa and Elsa are no exception.After being crammed into cattle cars and shipped south to Auschwitz concentration camp, Marissa and Elsa become separated. Marissa, a seamstress by trade, is put to work in one of the large textile warehouses to make clothes and gloves for the soldiers. Elsa is forced into the mainstream population, where death lurks menacingly around every corner.
Through all of the atrocities and horrors both women must face, their love for each other never wavers. While in the concentration camp, they meet a number of other courageous women who help them in their fight to both survive and reunite.

Discussion questions? You has them? I puts them! :)
I'm starting this one right now :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had my copy to reread with you :(
ReplyDeleteI finished this one last night. It's a quick, easy read. I wish there'd been a bit more detail to sort of put me 'in the moment'. I, personally, like a book with a bit more description. The love story aspect of it was BEAUTIFUL - Elsa and Mari have a love I've never read about before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for recommending this one!!
It is a bit on the light side with detail. It's very quick and tends to fly. But I love the story itself. It left me wanting to hear more about what happened at the end! But it was unique and different. I dig that. :D
ReplyDeleteSame here. Do you know if it's a true story? I guess I could do a bit of research and find out instead of asking. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou can ask Linda. She's very approachable. She's on twitter too I believe. ;)
ReplyDeleteOooo, very cool. I'm going to look her up!
