My Real Name Is Hanna

My Real Name Is Hanna | Tara Lynn Masih

8 posts | 8 read | 14 to read

Hanna Slivka is on the cusp of fourteen when Hitler's army crosses the border into Soviet-occupied Ukraine. Soon, the Gestapo closes in, determined to make the shtetele she lives in "free of Jews." Until the German occupation, Hanna spent her time exploring Kwasova with her younger siblings, admiring the drawings of the handsome Leon Stadnick, and helping her neighbor dye decorative pysanky eggs. But now she, Leon, and their families are forced to flee and hide in the forest outside their shtetele-and then in the dark caves beneath the rolling meadows, rumored to harbor evil spirits. Underground, they battle sickness and starvation, while the hunt continues above. When Hanna's father disappears, suddenly it's up to Hanna to find him-and to find a way to keep the rest of her family, and friends, alive. Sparse, resonant, and lyrical, weaving in tales of Jewish and Ukrainian folklore, My Real Name Is Hanna celebrates the sustaining bonds of family, the beauty of a helping hand, and the tenacity of the human spirit.

I still haven't quite figured out how to do words about this one. I need more people to read it so they can help me sort out my emotions. Because I have a lot of them. If you're into WWII-YA this is right up your alley. Even. If you're not it probably is, too, in this day and age. Sigh. I'm gonna go emote a bit more about this.

Started reading one of the most praised book of this year "My Real Name Is Hanna" by Tara Lynn Masih. I have received review copy of this book. This book is inspired by holocaust events. It's Masih's first novel and is the winner of Skipping Stone Honor Award. It will be out in early September. I am so excited to start reading this book ????
