"Auschwitz, 1944: "You can't leave me," I whisper, my hand trembling as I reach for her cheek. "You can't. We're in this life together, always, just you and me." This utterly heartbreaking yet beautifully hopeful World War Two page-turner tells the story of identical twin sisters in Auschwitz. Born minutes apart, Arina and Nora have never left each other's side-until now... The cattle car is dark, except for the light filtering through the boarded windows.

I cling onto Mama's hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papa's. After what feels like forever, the train stops.

We're in some sort of queue, and a man in a dark-green SS uniform walks by, glancing at everyone he passes. "Twins, twins," he shouts. My heart falls into the pit of my stomach. "Right here," says Mama, hesitation in her voice. "My daughters are twins." My eyes widen, and Nora trembles. Papa tries to tell Mama to be quiet, but it's too late. The Nazi catches sight of us. "Twins," he says again, pausing to inspect Nora and me. "Yes, you are, aren't you? You two are going to come along with me." This unforgettable World War Two page-turner, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Lucky Ones and The Midwife of Auschwitz, shows that, in the darkest of times, love can save your life..."
