(3) YA Isaacs's novel, based on her mother-in-law's childhood, presents the moving story of two sisters incarcerated in a Nazi labor camp located in Czechoslovakia. The horror of camp life is depicted with immediacy as the girls work in a textile factory, suffer hunger and disease, and worry about their father in Poland. The sisters' bond is authentically and emotionally captured.
