I found this book to be more of 3.5 but have rounded down my rating to 3 stars because even though I loved part 1 and 3 of the book, part 2 was very boring.
Part 1 and 3 are more related to her personal experience of being a child of Holocaust survivors and this comes across in her writing, these sections are highly readable, very engaging and offer a lot of insight into a perspective I hadn’t heard a lot of. Part 2 reads more like a research paper and I found it very dull. Whilst full of interesting statistics it lacks any personal connection, which I think this writer is better at conveying.
