Auschwitz, 1945: I rock my baby gently in my arms, willing him to be quiet. Because if anyone hears my newborn cry, he could be taken from me. I pray that soon I will be able to escape with my precious son...
Inspired by incredible true stories, this emotional novel tells of a mother's love and courage in a time of unimaginable darkness.
Naomi Demetriou has survived three years behind the walls of Auschwitz. Torn apart from her family, every breath could be her last. She's learnt to survive by secretly trading the clothes she's forced to sort through in exchange for food. But when an SS officer singles her out, her life becomes even harder. And then she discovers she's pregnant...
With the support of Ana, the kind midwife, and the other mothers in Barrack 24, Naomi does the impossible and gives birth to a tiny baby boy. Hiding in the shadows, Naomi vows to do whatever it takes to keep baby Isaac safe. With rumours circulating of an Allied invasion, Naomi holds onto the hope the camp will be liberated. And she dreams of returning to her house by the Greek sea with her son.
But the day comes when Naomi hears heavy footsteps and the harsh voice of an SS guard. 'Out! Now! You can't take anything with you!' She's shoved into a line of people being marched out of the iron gates. Thick snow falls around them. Tears sting in Naomi's eyes.
It all happened so fast. And she was unable to grab the bundle of blankets containing her little boy. But Ana is still there, will she and the other brave women be able to save him?
An absolutely heart-wrenching and page-turning WW2 novel inspired by true stories of love and bravery. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Nightingale.
