Praise For This Book


"The Piano Teacher of Montparnasse is an inspiring true story of resilience, hope, and courage." CHRISTY LEFTERI, INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO

"To many, this book will be most appreciated for its powerful evocation of the everyday horrors of life as a prisoner in a concentration camp, while others will be heartened by the novel's message of how true love can transcend even the most hellishly inhuman environments. This is a perfect novel for book clubs and readers of historical fiction." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ON THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ

"Like the Nobel Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel's Night, Morris' work takes us inside the day-to-day workings of the most notorious German death camp. Over the course of three years, Morris interviewed Lale, teasing out his memories and weaving them into her heart-rending narrative of a Jew whose unlikely forced occupation as a tattooist put him in a position to act with kindness and humanity in a place where both were nearly extinct." BOOKPAGE ON THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ

"The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of hope and survival against incredible odds and the power of love." POPSUGAR

"Based on a true story, the wrenching yet riveting tale of Lale's determination to survive the camp with Gita is a moving testament to the power of kindness, ingenuity, and hope." PEOPLE ON THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ
