Highly captivating and is full of emotional twists, turns and plot twists. - highly gory and sad

Everyone has just arrived at auschwitz and further separation of family has begun. A nazi soldier befriended Elli and promised to keep her poems safe. Another nazi didn't believe she was Jewish because of her hair and eyes and so he helped her out and told her to lie and say she was 16 so that she could stay with her mother. Unfortunately she was separated from her aunt Serena and never saw her again.

The families are in the process of being split apart. Fathers have already began their journey to the labor camps and now all of the children, mothers, and women are packing up their belongings and moving. The main character stowed her book full of poetry in her clothing because the nazis were burning everyone's possessions and she couldn't part with it.

So far this book has been just what I was looking for; enthralling, not dry, and overall very interesting to me. As of now I can't really say what is going on, all I know is that the nazis have invaded the area where a young 13 year old girl and her family lives. Some people they know have already been captured, but as of now they a still safe. School was cancelled and they are hiding out in their houses.

So far it is definitely picking up its pace and becoming more interesting. In fact, what I am reading right now contains the inquiries of others on the topic of the "sex slave trade" which is a very serious and dangerous topic. A committee in this book is discussing how to capture the culprits while the main character is doing some snooping on people's internet searches

So far my book is off to a slowish start, and it is a little tough to grab my attention. Normally I find a book and finish it in a week if it's good, but I don't know..I don't really like it so far.

So far I learned that the main character is a "retired" spy who sees this as a hobby. She is highly Intelligent in mathematics and has already saved a woman from an abusive husband who was looking to kill her because she was rich by inherited money (he wanted all the money for himself) she just survived a crazy storm, and killed the husband.
