Book Review #46: "Mischling"

Hey Everyone,

     I am going to review the book "Mischling," by Affinity Konar. This book was published on September 6, 2016 by Lee Boudreaux Books. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE.  This book takes place during World War II. It is about a set of twins. During WWII mischlings were people with Aryan and Jewish descent. These children were often sent to concentration camps where they were subject to all sorts of medical experimentation, and were subject to many forms of torture. These twins Stasha and Pearl were as close as twins could be, they survived because of their connection. At one point during the book Pearl disappears. The two twins then follow down two different paths one towards revenge and the other towards forgiveness. 

     Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This was a heart wrenching story. It reminded me of the book "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." This was difficult to read because it was such an emotional story. A book mixed with despair, desperation, and hope. This book was so beautifully written. The writing was so poetic that is clashed (in a good way) with the story that it was telling. I fell in love with the words, as well as the two main characters. And you all will too, so put this book on your shelf.

     I would like to thank Netgalley, Affinity Konar, and Lee Boudreaux Books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
