The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival Audiobook

" This is probably one of the best books I have listened to. I have recommended it to others several times. "

" Yup. 5 stars. Read this book. "

" I will never look at a yellow VW Beetle the same way. I think before I say "I'm starving." I cried while reading this book. Highly recommend this book. A great history lesion, one that this world shall never repeat. "

" One of the best Holocaust memoirs I've read. "

" One of the best books about endurance and life during the holocaust "

" Wow, I am humbled by what she endured. She gives such a stark discription of her experiences- you have to catch your breath sometimes. Keep a box of tissue handy. "

" This book was unbelievable - the vivid accounts of these women surviving the camps was something I will not soon forget. Because it was a memoir and of course you know all along that Seren survives since she wrote the book - the number of near-death moments just were heartbreaking to read. Seren was just 44 pounds when she was liberated by the Allies - and she still had the strength to survive. Amazing book, amazing story. "

" Survival narratives are tricky reads as I always question how people remember what they remember, particularly in times of crisis. As far as they go, this one was a relatively easy and enjoyable read. I like the straightforward telling of this tale and appreciate the historical data the author must have researched post concentration camp experience. Only a slight sense of the overdramatic dots the telling of Seren's courageous and terrifying journey. As evidenced in the epilogue, this extra zeal appears very much to be a consistent facet of her personality. "

" The story was well told. What a tragic event in our history. "

" Such a moving story. I loved the writing, the brutal honesty, and most of all I loved Seren's spirit. What a great example to all of us who moan about our lives. I recommend this one!! "

" Heartbreaking, like most Holocaust novels. I have never heard the story told from the Romanian side before. "

" Moving memoir of Holocaust survival "

" Not the very best Holocaust book I've read, but you really can't go wrong with such an amazing story of survival. Something I thought long about after I finished reading- Sara was one remarkable woman. "

" this was a wonderful read of a truly horrible time in our history. We should never forget. Her feistiness got her through the war. "

" I cried. Reading what Seren lived through amazes me. I couldn't put the book down, wanting to know how she survived. Absolutely loved it. "

" Very good Holocaust survivor's story. "

" Perhaps it was just the wrong kind of read for me right now. I just couldn't make a connection with this book though it gets great reviews from most readers. I'll pick it up again another time. "

" Though I rated this book "amazing" I'm not sure that is the correct word. This book was written so well, and is so interesting but very sad. Though Sara is now deceased she will remain in my thoughts for a long time. This really is a must read. "

" Amazing courage, endurance and ability to not only survive herself but help others at the same time. She did not become mean or selfish even when she was starving and freezing herself. A real hero and amazing what the human spirit can do under extremely terrible conditions. "

" One of the most moving, amazing books ive read in my life. "

" This is a very difficult book about a woman who by luck and timing finds a way to survive such a horrific time in history. "

" Wow - this was phenomenal! I highly recommend it. It's a memoir of a holocaust survivor. Incredibly well written. Very thought-provoking. I couldn't put it down! "
