Enter to win one of 30 copies of Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris!

The sequel to the International Number One Bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true story of love and resilience.

In 1942 Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, notices her long beautiful hair, and forces her separation from the other women prisoners. Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly given, equals survival.

After liberation, Cilka is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a desolate, brutal prison camp in Siberia known as Vorkuta, inside the Arctic Circle.

Innocent and imprisoned once again, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar. When she makes an impression on a female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under unimaginable conditions. Cilka finds endless resources within herself as she confronts death and faces terror, each day a battle for survival. And when she nurses a man called Aleksandr, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.

Based on what is known of Cilka’s time in Auschwitz, and on the experience of women in Siberian prison camps, Cilka's Journey is the breathtaking sequel to The Tattooist of Auschwitz. A powerful testament to the triumph of the human will in adversity, Cilka’s Journey will make you weep, but it will also leave you with the remarkable story of one woman’s fierce determination to survive, against all odds.

Thanks so much A&U. Love the sound of this one as I loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz

I got to hear Heather talk about her first book - so amazing

Sounds really good, but I haven’t read the first one which also sounds really good.

Heather Morris is a nice lady, I pointed out that we can't enter the other Goodreads giveaway and she decided to giveaway 30 copies to people in Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks for the chance! I'm in.

It looks a brilliant read!!!

Thanks Allen & Unwin I'm also in 🤗

I have got my fingers crossed!

Looking forward to reading this 💛

Loved the Tattooist of Auschwitz

Just received a email to tell me I had won a copy. Looking forward to it. Thank you very much.

Just went and picked up my copy from the post office. Looks awesome. Thanks again.

Thanks for my copy A&U!

Thanks A&U I was very excited to win a copy, I missed out on the Edleweiss and NetGalley copies. I'm very happy now and thanks also to Heather Morris.

Thank you A & U for my copy. This will be my school holiday read and can’t wait to start 🙂

Thank you A & U. I recieved a copy of this book. I am pretty sure I did not order it, but perhaps my finger slipped to the wrong select button... I was interested in Silver. Unfortunately, after reading the blurb about the subject matter, it is not a book that I will ever read, so if anyone going to the NSW get together would like to take it please let me know.
I also received Bruny which looks like my sort of book. Thanks again A & U.

It might be a good idea to put that in the NSW get together thread Trish - more likely to be seen :)

Thank you, thank you! I am so thrilled to get a copy!!!

Hi Trish L, if you're not interested in Cilka's Journey, I would gladly read it! I'll be at the NSW get together.

Megan, I'd suggest you PM Trish :)
