Summary: Torn Thread
Review: Torn Thread, written by Anne Isaacs, takes place from 1943 to 1945 in Czechoslovakia. The novel is based around Eva Buchbinder's experiences in a Nazi labor camp. Anne Isaacs shows each character's feelings and actions using in-depth descriptions. While reading this novel, one actually feels the hunger and grief Eva and her friends feel while starving and working within the cruel conditions of the labor camp. Isaacs does a great job using the varied emotions and personalities of the characters to describe the harshness of the labor camps instead of bloody and intense graphical descriptions. People interested in the harsh conditions for those in the German Nazi labor camps will love this book. If one is interested in the real facts and tragedies of the labor camps instead of a romanticized version, read this book. This novel is not difficult to read and comprehend. It just takes human compassion. One will not be able to put this book down out of concern for the lives of those in the death camps. Upon finishing this novel, the reader will have a greater appreciation for life and the freedom it now holds.
