I received the book, Two Rings: A Story of Love and War as part of Goodreads First Reads. The first night I picked it up, I read for about 3 hours and had a hard time putting it down. The book is written in a simple manner as if I was sitting with Millie Werber, listening to her tell me about her life and it brought me right into the tale she telling. It's a hard subject, as it is about the life of a Polish Jewish teenage girl in WWII and what happened to her and her family starting with being in the Jewish Ghetto. She doesn't spare details of about the deaths of others and the conditions of the factory and Auschwitz Death Camp. Even though going into the book, you know she survived and married again to a man who has a very interesting survival tale of his own, all through the book you are worried that she and her Aunt, who is with her most of the book, will not make it through the war alive. However, it is also a very sweet love story that took place in an awful time and place, between two people who are doing what they can to get out alive and I think that is in the end what made the whole book very special.
