episode 0035 - Book Club Wrap Up of "The Neighbors" by Hannah Mary McKinnon


Listen Later

It’s the last Thursday of the month...do you know what that means?!?! BOOK CLUB!!! 

Our favorite sisters, Lauren & Lindi, join us to deep dive our October pick, “The Neighbors” by Hannah Mary McKinnon. 

This was an exceptionally complex story with so many complicated characters - our heads are still spinning from the whiplash (especially from that last chapter). This was one of those books that just sticks with you. A slow burn that built into a great explosion. 

We want to know what you thought! Send us your thoughts, comments, questions, and feedback on the socials or at our email address. All of that information is listed below! 

 

And we invite you to join us for our November Book Club! 

Our beloved book-loving-sisters, aka @sistersonthesamepage have chosen a genre we haven’t yet read together and WE ARE THRILLED ABOUT IT! Who’s ready for some historical fiction?!?! WE ARE!

The book is “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” by Heather Morris and both Lauren and Lindi guarantee we will be swept up in this deep, emotional story set within the horrific backdrop of the Holocaust. This book is a #1 International Bestseller & New York Times Bestseller.

“This beautiful, illuminating tale of hope and courage is based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov—an unforgettable love story in the midst of atrocity.”

Book Synopsis:

“In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners.

Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism—but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.

One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.

A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.”

Please join us as we read into a harrowing love story out of the pages of history.
