But when Klara recognises a man in the camp from her past, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.
He knows exactly what she did during the war to save her daughter.
She knows his real identity.
What will be the price of silence? And will either make it out of the camp alive?
I have previously read Kate Furnivall's The
Liberation and found myself hanging on her every word so I was desperate to
read her new release The Survivors.
Klara Janowska and her beautiful young daughter
Alicja are stuck in a post war displaced persons camp in Germany, they are
doing what each and every person in there is attempting to do…. Survive. When
Klara sets us on a new arrival in camp she is desperate to get her and her
daughter away from Graufield Camp to protect her daughter from this threat from
their past.
This was an extremely well written and
researched storyline that captured my attention right from the eventful first
chapter. The storyline is told from both Klara and her daughter Alicja points
of view which worked really well and I admired both of the characters. Alicja
was such a brave and determined little girl who quickly has to grow up and has
seen and faced things that no child of her age should have experienced. Klara
is a feisty, intelligent and desperate mother who will do what ever it takes to
protect her child. I also loved Davide, he was a respectful gentleman with his
own problems but his feelings for Klara were clear and honest I was desperate
for a happy ending for him and Klara but his health was a constant worry to me.
There was a lot of ducking and diving to avoid
capture and I did find around a third of the way through I just wanted
something to progress. I loved that I was completely taken by surprise at one
point in the book I couldn’t believe I had had no suspicions about some
people’s real motives!
Kate Furnivall has such a vivid writing style
which sets the scene and the tone of the book perfectly. This was an honest,
raw and desperate storyline with a mother’s love, determination and survival at
the heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
