She has wild hair of ginger and lovely inexperienced eyes, and she's just been transferred with her family from Terezín to Auschwitz. In short order, her father commits suicide, and her mother and younger brother are dispatched to the gas chambers, but fifteen-year-old Hanka Kauderzová continues to be alive. Confronted with the decision of certain fatality in the camp or working in a German military brothel, she decides the opportunity at life. Passing for an Aryan, Hanka spends her days in the brothel chilly, starving, fearful, and ashamed. She is sustained only by her loathing of the men who visit her and by a brutal, indomitable will to reside. This devastatingly beautiful novel explores and delineates the impossible choices one sometimes must make in life, when the cloth of the world is rent asunder. Soaring beyond the nightmare, it leaves the reader with a transcendent sense of desire.
