This is the story of Sidonia as written by her daughter, Hannah. Hannah did not take a traditional approach in telling her mother's story. Sidonia had one skill that carried through life. She was an exemplenary seamstress. In telling her story, Hannah used a sewing technique to organize each chapter. For example, when discussing fitting and fitting clothes, she also discussed how her mother fit into her new family especially after divorce.
Sidonia was the only member of her family to survive the concentration camps. Her daughter was born after liberation and before they immigrated to the USA. The details of her birth is something her mother never discusses. There are times when Hannah feels angry at her mother for this, but for many years they feel each is the only one the can depend on. So the anger is mixed with love and devotion.
I read this on my kindle, and the only issue I had was the pictures were not very clear.
Otherwise it was a very good book that was easy to read.
