The Rest Is Memory by Lily Tuck - 3 stars

I had previously read a book by Lily Tuck that I enjoyed. I saw she had a new book recently released, so without checking into it, I decided to read it. The novel is set in Poland during World War II. Fourteen-year-old Czeslawa and several of her relatives are imprisoned in Auschwitz. They are Polish Catholics. Most do not survive. It is a sad story of starvation, atrocities, and death. It is short and well-written. Parts of it are gut-wrenching, so I recommend making sure you are in the right head space to read it.
