Explanation As Books Mischling

Pearl is in charge of: the sad, the good, the past. Stasha must care for: the funny, the future, the bad. It's 1944 when the twin sisters arrive at Auschwitz with their mother and grandfather. In their benighted new world, Pearl and Stasha Zagorski take refuge in their identical natures, comforting themselves with the private language and shared games of their childhood. As part of the experimental population of twins known as Mengele's Zoo, the girls experience privileges and horrors unknown to others, and they find themselves changed, stripped of the personalities they once shared, their identities altered by the burdens of guilt and pain. That winter, at a concert orchestrated by Mengele, Pearl disappears. Stasha grieves for her twin, but clings to the possibility that Pearl remains alive. When the camp is liberated by the Red Army, she and her companion Feliks--a boy bent on vengeance for his own lost twin--travel through Poland's devastation. Undeterred by injury, starvation, or the chaos around them, motivated by equal parts danger and hope, they encounter hostile villagers, Jewish resistance fighters, and fellow refugees, their quest enabled by the notion that Mengele may be captured and brought to justice within the ruins of the Warsaw Zoo. As the young survivors discover what has become of the world, they must try to imagine a future within it. A superbly crafted story, told in a voice as exquisite as it is boundlessly original, Mischling defies every expectation, traversing one of the darkest moments in human history to show us the way toward ethereal beauty, moral reckoning, and soaring hope.

Evaluate Of Books Mischling

Mischling was a solid book for me. I had this on my bookshelf for over half a year before I finally decided to pick it up and read what I thought would be a devastating and emotional read (especially being a twin myself). The book centers around 12 year old twins-Stasha and Pearl who are selected for testing in Josef Mengele's "Zoo" during the Holocaust. I found the story intriguing and liked how the chapters were narrated by each girl but something in this book was lacking for me. There is no

Affinity Konar is like Anthony Doerr in that she can find lyrical poetry in nightmarish, unfathomable scenarios that aren't necessarily easy to read, but should be read in order to remember and honor the painful lessons of our history. Mischling deals with identical twins Pearl and Stasha, who arrive at Auschwitz with the strongest of bonds between them. Pearl is the older of the two, the musical one, the dancer, and Stasha is the dreamer who seeks solace and distraction in her imagination. The

As I actually completed this book shortly before midnight, it is my final book of 2016, and while a difficult read, it is also very well done. In spite of all the nonfiction I have read about the Holocaust and the horrors of the death camps, Mischling has opened my eyes and mind further.Mischling is an historic fiction written about one specific aspect of the Holocaust that I have heard about but never read many details of over the years. Konar brings to life, through the eyes, ears and bodies

What a privilege I felt being able to read this before the hype will break loose! This was one of the most talked about books of the Frankfurther Book Fair '15. My guess is you will almost get tired of seeing it appear in short lists, best of 2016-lists and obnoxious recommendations just as this one (so you can say it'll be this year's A little life ;-)Ok: it's miserable... Reading from the POV of twins being captured in Auschwitz, on a daily basis undergoing the horrific experiments by Mengele,

**I received this as an egalley through Edelweiss in return for an honest review.**I have read many Holocaust books in my life and thought that this one sounded exceptionally interesting, which is why I requested it. The story of the twins and others who were subjected to Mengele's experiments is not one I have read before in historical fiction, and was thus eager to read it. However, while the writing could be interesting at times, for the most part I found myself disengaged from the story and

5.0 STARS! By far one of very best books I read in 2016This is one of those rare books that reached my soul. It broke down my DNA and reassembled my genetic code into something completely different from when I started the book. It ripped my heart from my chest, tossed it about in an ethereal world of emotions, flooded with compassion, empathy and utter sadness and despair and finally forgiveness, and placed it back within my symmetrical anatomy with a loving, gentle caress. It drained my tears
