'I want you to make a promise to me that you will always take care of your sisters. That you will always be there for one another. That you will not allow anyone to take you away from each other, ever. Do you understand?'

When they are little girls, Cibi, Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15, Livia is ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister, or die with her. Together, they fight to survive through unimaginable cruelty and hardship.

Magda, only 17, stays with her mother and grandfather, hiding out in a neighbour's attic or in the forest when the Nazi militia come to round up friends, neighbours and family. She escapes for a time, but eventually she too is captured and transported to the death camp.

In Auschwitz-Birkenau the three sisters are reunited and, remembering their father, they make a new promise, this time to each other: That they will survive.

From Heather Morris, the author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey, which have sold over eight million copies worldwide, comes an astonishing new story that will break your heart, but leave you amazed and uplifted by the courage and fierce love of three sisters, whose promise to each other kept them alive in a place without hope.

About the Author

Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is an international number one bestselling author, who is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Heather used Lale's story as the basis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which has sold six million copies. Her follow-up novel, Cilka's Journey, has sold more than a million copies worldwide. Heather's first non-fiction book, Stories of Hope, was published last September. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Review

At the heart of this unbearably sad, but ultimately uplifting novel is the unbreakable bond shared between three sisters . . . A gruelling read, but the vivid resilience of the girls, their constant care and affection for each other, is immeasurably comforting ― Daily Mail

Offers a fascinating glimpse into life after the horrors of Auschwitz. And that's what makes this book stand out . . . A story of hope, spirit and sheer human resilience ― Sunday Express

Emotionally affecting storytelling ― Top page-turners selection for Daily Telegraph

Another heart-wrenching, deftly told tale . . . it is hard not to be moved by such a chronicle ― Mail on Sunday

Heartbreaking yet inspiring, this is a moving tale of bravery, the power of love and survival against the odds ― My Weekly

A stunning novel ― People Magazine

Morris skillfully chronicles the lives of the sisters from childhood to old age, balancing fictional invention with extensive research and immersion into the Mellers' lives. Readers will be greatly inspired by this story of resilience ― Publishers Weekly starred review

Readers of historical and World War II fiction will be gripped by the conclusion to Morris's trilogy ― Library Journal

Emotional and inspiring ― Platinum Magazine

This book! I loved it. The fact that this is a true story means a lot, but the author is so skilled that you really live through the experiences of these girls. Each of them comes to life and is very much her own person. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. ― 5* Netgalley review

I really enjoyed this book because it was very different to the others as this was about the bond of three sisters and not giving up on the others, about sticking together no matter what and getting through the war and staying safe. There is a lot to be taken from these incredible women stories. I highly recommend this book to everyone!! ― Steph Reads Blog

Heather Morris's books are written with such care and feeling. This is the story of three sisters and how they coped with the horrors they witnessed in the camps during WW2 and their fight and determination to survive. Excellent book and very emotional. ― 5* Netgalley review

This novel is testament to the power that love and devotion can get you through everything. Just like Heather Morris' other works this is also well-written, you get sucked in and before you know it you have read 50 pages in an afternoon! It is interesting that this book doesn't just end with the sister's release from Auschwitz like most other WWII memoirs but carries on and explains how the sisters slowly heal and move on with the rest of their lives. ― 5* Netgalley review

An incredible book from start to finish, so emotional and so powerful, every chapter left me desperate to read on. I felt so invested in the lives of the three sisters, and as a reader you become so connected to them, especially as this book spans more than just their lives in Auschwitz, looking at both before and after, meaning they become the three-dimensional people they deserve to be. This was just as excellent as Heather Morris' previous books! ― Emma is Reading a Book blog

I absolutely adored Heather's two previous novels - The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey - so I was more than excited to see she'd written another book. I love that these stories are real, and Heather has been chosen as the guardian of them. She manages to portray the joy amongst the pain, fear, and desperation. What they went through was terrible, but she's managed to ensure we don't forget the beauty the sisters experienced too. ― Books by my Bedside blog

I was deeply moved and an emotional wreck for great chunks of this book. If you have read and been moved by Heather Morris's previous books, this is a must read. If you've never read anything in this genre, this is a must read. A dark and bleak but ultimately life-affirming journey, with hope in the darkest days, a determination to survive and to care for those that you love. A vitally important book to never forget, and a reminder of the depth of human hope, love, and the will to survive. ― Avid Reader blog

I am not normally one for historical reads, however, this has completely changed my perspective! I loved it! Incredibly gripping and heart-wrenching, would definitely recommend it. ― Partridge Pages Blog

This book! I loved it. It was one of those that I was so sorry when I was finished it. The author is so skilled that you really live through the experiences of these girls. And each of them comes to life and is very much her own person. If I could give it more than five stars, I would. ― 5* Review from Netgalley

Having read Heather Morris' previous two books, I could not wait to read Three Sisters and it really did not disappoint. Incredibly well written and atmospheric. Everything was handled sensitively and in an inspiring way. I would happily read more from Heather Morris in the future, and I can't wait to see what she does next. ― 5* Review from Netgalley

The book is an honest, powerful, at times hard hitting recollection of what the Meller family went through. Once again Heather has taken the dreadful memories of Auschwitz survivors and created an amazing book. The way Heather writes these stories you feel like you have been on a journey and as you read you are almost an eyewitness to the atrocities survivors had to endure. ― 5* Review from Netgalley

Prior to reading this book, I had read Heather Morris' The Tattooist of Auschwitz and found it incredibly moving. Three Sisters unveils a different, yet equally brutal side to the concentration camps, through the eyes of three fiercely loyal and brave sisters. Morris does such a wonderful job with such harrowing subject matter. Instead of highlighting or lingering on the horrors that occurred, she focuses on the sisters and their mother and grandfather. Their bond, courage and will to survive is astounding to read about and this is made all the more poignant by the strength of Morris' craft. The authors care for the real sisters' stories is evident throughout; her respect for them filters through the pages. It is no easy task to take someone's life story, particularly one so tragic, and craft it into a book like this. It takes a special person to do it. ― 5* Netgalley review

My words are really not going to do this book justice. Heather Morris has (not surprisingly) delivered yet another deeply moving story of bravery, loyalty, survival and love, in defiance of the inconceivable horror and brutality faced at Auschwitz-Birkenau. A complete emotional rollercoaster, we follow sisters Cibi, Magda and Livi; their harrowing, eye opening story of resilience and strength shown throughout their journey and the story of their survival together. ― 5* Netgalley review

Wow. I'm absolutely blown away. An extremely heart-breaking but wonderfully written book. What I say here will not do this book justice. Having read both The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey; I had to of course read Three Sisters too. I think this is possibly my favourite book of the three. I loved how there was so much detail into their lives afterwards, survival, love and family. I would highly recommend that if you do read this book, to read the authors note at the end along with the afterwords. ― 5* Netgalley review

Wow, this is such an incredible read. Ciba, Magda and Livia have an indescribable story to tell. They live through so much and Morris gives them a voice and retells everything they endured; good and bad. The three sisters are such strong women and I loved getting to know them, reading about their life and seeing what happened to them and those around them. Three Sisters is an absolute must read. It is powerful, moving and thought-provoking. ― 4* review on Netgalley

A heart wrenching, emotional, sad and poignant read. I think the author has captured her characters feelings, thoughts and emotions very eloquently and as a reader you can't help but be affected by their story which had me in tears a few times. A very powerful and poignant read that will stay on my mind for a while. ― 4* Netgalley review

If you enjoyed the first two books (`The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey), then I think you'll equally enjoy this book. The three sisters fill the pages with bravery, family love and the ability to endure. At the end of the book, I had a lump in my throat as you see the large legacy that the three sisters grew: they endured, survived, and thrived which makes for a rewarding and inspiring read. ― Between my Lines Blog --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Heather Morris is a native of New Zealand, now resident in Australia. For several years, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, she studied and wrote screenplays, one of which was optioned by an Academy Award-winning screenwriter in the US. In 2003, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who ‘might just have a story worth telling’. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Their friendship grew and Lale embarked on a journey of self-scrutiny, entrusting the innermost details of his life during the Holocaust to her. Heather originally wrote Lale’s story as a screenplay – which ranked high in international competitions – before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Having read Tattooist and Cilka, this book was a pre-order on kindle for some time. I have one word. Wow!
How can I do this book justice in a review? Three sisters is a story of lives lived. It’s a story of battles fought, battles won and battles almost lost at times. It’s a story that demonstrates through the written word, that as long as you have family, as long as you are together…..you can survive.
Heathers writing style and attention to detail is breathtaking. Throughout the read, I had images forming of how I felt the sisters looked and Heather had described them beautifully.
To survive the atrocities that they faced, to come out the other side and raise their families, is a testament to their strength, character, honour and stamina. It’s a testament to family.

Thank you Heather for this book. Yet again, I’m blown away. 5 star review.

Very confronting and distressing. Although we all learn tne history of these camps, to imagine it through the eyes of survivors who must relive it constantly is quite amazing.

Reviewed in Australia on 8 December 2021

Cibi, Magda and Livi. Three sisters who made a promise in 1929 to their father to always stay together.

Then the war broke out.

This story of the three sisters and their time as prisoners in Auschwitz is utterly heartbreaking. Their resilience during times of unbearable cruelty is astounding. This is such an eye opening story and I found myself reading and simultaneously researching more and more about some of the things that were spoken of in this book and that happened during World War II.

The descriptions and stories of what was endured during their time daily and weekly made me feel like I gained a touch of insight into the every day fight the prisoners had. I learned of so much more of what happened in Auschwitz than Jews being sent to be gassed. From having to steal a blanket through the night or die of cold. Which then meant the person who's blanket was stolen then perished... to try to appear healthy when walking back from their day of slavery or else be shot or gassed. The humiliation of being a child and being stripped naked and shaved head to toe by other male prisoners.
Typhus. Starvation. Murder.

Deeply emotional, I highly recommend Three Sisters and although it is intensely sad, the love and resilience that these sisters had is truly heart-warming.

I don't know how to put into words how great this book is. I couldn't put it down.

Oh my word, one of the most compelling and enthralling books I have ever read. If you thought The Tattooist of Auschwitz was good, this, in my opinion, is even better! Who even knew that was possible?! The story itself doesn't need reviewed these remarkable women cannot be adequately described in one short paragraph but the writing? The feeling, the tenderness, hatred, sorrow and victory so beautifully composed. Heather Morris has outdone herself. Oh and one final note, read the snippets at the end. The story of how the book came about is as thrilling at the work itself!! Just wow.

Wow! Heather Morris has written this so beautifully. An amazing account of three sisters who despite existing through hell managed to go on and live full lives.
These stories have to be read and shared. The holocaust must never be forgotten the cruelty and torture man can do to man simply because of there faith must be faced and taught to others. This book shows how strong love and the will to live really is. An amazing book by an amazing author about three amazing sisters. Read this book and tell everyone you know about it for we must never forget.

What a wonderful story, yet again, retold with compassion, care and love by Heather. This is a story of family, love, determination and strength. Although the experiences of the girls were horrendous they never stop hoping or fighting. It never fails to shock me what all those millions of people went through in those camps and during that war, the despicable way human life was disregarded by other humans. These books honour those who have suffered, who were lost and their families. They keep their memories alive. A positive story and well worth a read.

Another great read from Heather Morris. I enjoyed this just as much as her previous two books and am looking forward to the next. I liked that this book followed the main characters (The Three Sisters) to the present day and not just thought their time in Auschwitz. I always enjoy reading the notes at the end and seeing how much research goes into these books. I’ve already bought the physical copy to add to my collection.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the eARC.

Not as good as the others.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This is the third book in the series. It feels as though it holds more true to the original stories of the three sisters. In staying true to their story I feel it lacks in good story telling and what makes a good none fiction book. Cilkas story was much better written but I know there was much controversy from her family about accuracy, it feels as though Morris has compensated for this and had kept more true to the original story and in doing so has created a book that is less gripping to read. Still a good book though and you should definitely read it as the last book In the series. The other two are better though.
