Heather Morris: Three Sisters<br />

in conversation with Claire Halliday<br />

The best-selling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz is back – with an<br />

astonishing new novel.<br />

As little girls, sisters Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father<br />

– that they will stay together, no matter what. WWII threatens that promise<br />

when the Nazis capture the three teenagers and send them to the death<br />

camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Their fight to stay together sees them survive<br />

imprisonment at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, and eventually<br />

returns them to their Slovakian home, now under Communist rule. Driven<br />

by strength, hope and an unwavering love for each other, they embark on a<br />

voyage of renewal, to the new Jewish homeland, Israel. The fierce love of<br />

these incredible women is at the heart of Three Sisters – a novel that will<br />

break your heart and remind you of the power of family.<br />
