The book we were the lucky ones5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The author is the granddaughter of one of the five children. It was what happened to the Kurc family for all those years! It is so refreshing but at the same time it is soo raw because it is real. ![]() The way the author unfolds the story, the way every word is chosen, I love how it is told based on the experience of each person in this family. I have read a lot of historical fiction but this one really really is special. It follows each couple from 1939 to 1947 and tells their stories of survival, of devastation, of separation, of despair, of courage, of every decision they have made that lead to their own fate and to the end. ![]() Two parents, five children and their spouses. This book is based on TRUE EVENTS and follows the Kurc family at the start of the war in 1939. It breaks my heart again and again but this is my way of remembering the history and remembering the heroes and remembering the incredible strength and courage we all have as a human being. I do not say it lightly but I really do learn something new and learn more about the history every time I read a historical fiction. You all know my favourite genre to read is historical fiction and especially the time period set in the Second World War. This book has no doubt become one of my favourites of all time. I finished this last night and my heart cannot be still, it is frantically trying to make senses of it all, trying not to be torn into million pieces and trying to process all that is in the book to tell. ![]()
