It was nice to have our 4 new ladies at the meeting today, and a special welcome to Lynn. We read Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. This was written as a novel after the author interviewed Lali Sokolov for 3 years as he told her his story. For him, it was a story of his falling in love with the most wonderful girl. It just happened to take place in one of the worst places and times in history. With the exception of one member, the book club liked the book. With one low rating of 1.0, the rest spanned from 3.25-4.50, with an average of 3.5.
The cons regarding the book was that while it was a novel, some of the historical data didn’t match with Lale’s recollections of his experience in camp; and the author’s writing style could have been more developed. Some of the pros mentioned were that it had heart, the reader could feel the sense hope that Lale and Gita felt in the book, the romance was sweet, and the story itself for a “5” even if the writing style was a bit lacking.
