Bookroo's summary
Young Sorale stumbles upon a heart-shaped book with cryptic words among her mother's things. This discovery unravels a tale of bravery and friendship forged in Auschwitz, where women risked everything to create a precious gift. What secrets does this tiny book hold, and why was it hidden for so long? As Sorale delves deeper, she uncovers a legacy of resilience and the unyielding spirit of those who dared to hope in the darkest times. Will she uncover the full story behind her mother's past and the women who defied the odds?
From the publisher
Ten-year-old Sorale discovers a tiny heart-shaped book among her mother’s belongings. Its pages are shaped like four-petaled flowers, upon which are written words in languages Sorale does not understand. Who wrote these words? Where did the heart come from? Why has her mother never mentioned this tiny book before? Fania’s Heart reveals the story of the crafting of the heart, against all odds, within the confines of Auschwitz, and of the women of immeasurable resilience, courage and loyalty who risked their lives for Sorale’s mother, their friend.
