Narration 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.

Piece Based On Books Mischling

We dont always know ourselves, who we can become, what we may do, after evil has done what it likes with us. Coming of age is tough enough, but toss in a World War, a forced relocation to one of the most infamous vortices of evil the world has ever known, and, for good measure, add in being in the hands of one of the most truly black-souled human beings to have ever fouled the surface of the earth. But perhaps the light we cannot see is the one that illuminates the soul. We meet Stasha and

I had the opportunity to hear the author, Affinity Konar, speak at the Tucson Festival of Books earlier this year and was taken by her soft-spoken manner and her entire affect. I could almost feel the pain she experienced in writing this phenomenal book (which had been waiting patiently on my Kindle for months prior to the festival).From the first page, the language of this novel is transcending and ethereal despite the horrific facts the story is based on and the difficult themes and realities

My forgiveness was a constant repetition, and acknowledgement of the fact that I still lived; it was proof that their experiments, their number, their samples, was all for naught - I remained, a tribute to their underestimations of what a girl can endure.4.5 stars. A beautifully written, well-researched book about twins, Pearl and Stasha, who ends up in the Zoo at Auschwitz. A place where death-doctor, Josef Mengele, kept and performed experiments on all his especially selected children. The

I am so conflicted, need to think on this one.

Oh. my...............just SO beautifully written. This book is based on Dr. Josef Mengele's "Zoo" experiments at Auschwitz, in which he tortured and experimented on twins, dwarves, albinos and any other victims that struck his fancy as unusual or "special." The subject matter is undeniably grim, but Konar gets her point across without being too graphic.The strongest part of the book, for me, was the first part, which tells the story of 12-year-old twins Pearl and Stasha. We come to know

"For eight months we were afloat in amniotic snowfall, two rosy mittens resting on the lining of our mother. I couldnt imagine anything grander than the womb we shared, but after the scaffolds of our brains were ivoried and our spleens were complete, Pearl wanted to see the world beyond us. And so, with newborn pluck, she spat herself out of our mother." A bit too arty and lacking in plot for my tastes.I was immediately intrigued when I saw Mischling on Netgalley. Despite having read so many

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,
