Best Selling Books by Heather Morris

Nach dem weltweiten Erfolg des Bestsellers »Der Tätowierer von Auschwitz« das neue Buch der Autorin Heather Morris Ihre Schönheit rettete ihr das Leben – und wurde ihr zum Verhängnis 1942: Cecilia Klein ist sechzehn Jahre alt, als sie in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert wird. Fasziniert von ihrer Schönheit, trennt der Kommandant des Lagers sie von den anderen Gefangenen und missbraucht sie regelmäßig. Cilka lernt schnell, dass ihre unfreiwillige Machtposition Überleben bedeutet. Doch nach der Befreiung von Auschwitz wird Cilka von den Russen als Kollaborateurin angeklagt und in das brutale Gefangenenlager Workuta in Sibirien geschickt. Dort steht sie vor neuen und gleichzeitig schrecklich vertrauten Herausforderungen. Unter unvorstellbaren Bedingungen muss sie die Kranken im Lager versorgen. Doch sie stellt auch fest, dass in ihrem Herzen trotz allem Elend noch Raum für Liebe ist. »Die Vergangenheit gibt ihre Geheimnisse nie leicht preis. Aber Geschichten wie die von Cilka verdienen es, erzählt zu werden. Sie war nur ein kleines Mädchen, wurde dann aber zur mutigsten Person, die Lale Sokolov je getroffen hat.« Heather Morris

«Un libro commovente sulla forza che si può trovare anche nei tempi più bui.» Publishers Weekly «Un romanzo profondo che toccherà anche i cuori più duri.» The Sunday Post «Lo straordinario coraggio di Cilka e la sua determinazione vivranno per sempre.» Sunday Express «Una storia di sfide inimmaginabili.» The Sunday Post È il 1942. Cilka ha solo sedici anni quando il suo mondo cambia per sempre. Ha appena varcato il cancello di Auschwitz e, in un istante, si vede portare via l’innocenza e i sogni di ragazzina. Intorno a lei ci sono solo orrore e ingiustizia. Eppure, nonostante tutto, scopre di avere in sé un coraggio straordinario. Un coraggio che le permette di scoprire i punti deboli dei suoi aguzzini e di servirsene con astuzia per salvare sé stessa e tutti quelli, come lei, condannati senza motivo. Da allora sono passati tre anni. Il campo è stato liberato, ma la possibilità di una nuova vita le viene negata quando è costretta ai lavori forzati in Siberia. Di nuovo, si trova alla mercé dei propri carcerieri, costretta a eseguire senza fiatare gli ordini che riceve. Ma, benché tema di non avere via d’uscita, rifiuta di arrendersi al buio di cui ha già fatto esperienza e continua a lottare per tenere a distanza il male che sembra permeare ogni cosa. Per dimostrare, con l’audacia che l’ha sempre contraddistinta, che non c’è malvagità che possa resistere a una mano tesa in cerca d’aiuto. Perché malgrado la barbarie di cui è stata e continua a essere testimone, Cilka è convinta che il suo cuore non sia pronto per dire addio all’amore. Un’autrice da quattro milioni di copie vendute nel mondo. I suoi romanzi restano per mesi in vetta alle classifiche e sono tradotti in cinquanta paesi. Dopo il successo mondiale di Il tatuatore di Auschwitz, Heather Morris torna a parlare del dramma dell’Olocausto perché non sia dimenticato. La storia di Cilka è la prova che, anche in condizioni inimmaginabili, l’umanità trova il modo di manifestarsi e riaccendere la speranza. Il suo viaggio, da bambina a donna, da prigioniera ad aiuto insostituibile, è un esempio unico di resilienza e del valore inestimabile della vita, da proteggere a ogni costo.
