Voľné pokračovanie úspešného románu Tetovač z Auschwitzu z pera
Heather Morrisovej. Cecília Kleinová mala len 16 rokov, keď sa
dostala do vyhladzovacieho tábora Auschwitz-Birkenau. Hoci bola
ešte iba dieťa, vďaka jej kráse si ju vyhliadol veliteľ
Schwarzhuber a násilím ju oddelil od ostatných žien. Výmenou za
noci s ním získala aspoň aký taký pocit bezpečnosti. No netrval
dlho, po oslobodení ju za kolaboráciu odsúdili na 15 rokov nútených
prác na Sibíri, kde sa opäť stretla iba so smrťou a utrpením. Vďaka
láskavosti jednej z doktoriek však Cilka dostáva príležitosť stať
sa zdravotnou sestrou a hoci sa dennodenne borí so smrťou a
utrpením, je rada, že má šancu aspoň trochu pomáhať. Napokon,
napriek všetkému zlu a hrôzam, ktoré prežíva, nájde aj chuť prežiť
a dokonca bojovať o lásku. Z anglického originálu Cilka’s Journey
(Zaffre, an imprint of Bonnier Zaffre, a Bonnier Publishing
company, London 2019) preložila Tamara Chovanová.
