Hay numerosos libros sobre el Holocausto, pero ninguno como este. Se basa en una increíble historia real detrás de uno de sus símbolos más potentes: los números azules tatuados en los brazos de los prisioneros de los campos de concentración. Cuando a Lale Sokolov le fue encomendada la tarea de tatuar los números en las víctimas que -como él- eran encerradas en Auschwitz, usó la mínima libertad que su rol le permitía para intercambiar joyas y dinero de judíos asesinados por comida para ayudar a otros a sobrevivir. De ser atrapado, lo habrían matado al instante. Lale se propuso vivir una vida tan plena como le fuera posible dentro de esas terribles circunstancias. Una mañana, en la fila de prisioneros que esperaban para ser tatuados, una joven temblorosa llamó su atención. Para él fue amor a primera vista y se juró que, si lograba salir del campo, la buscaría hasta encontrarla. Durante cuatro años, Heather Morris entrevistó a un anciano Lale Sokolov. Apoyándose en sus encuentros y en abundantes documentos pero con la potencia de la mejor de las ficciones, El tatuador de Auschwitz narra esos hechos que permanecieron casi desconocidos durante más de setenta años. Por trágico que sea el relato, es un llamado a la esperanza y al coraje. Y, sobre todo, una inolvidable historia de amor y supervivencia. Una novela basada en una inolvidable historia real.

Margaret Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she's worked for so hard and so long: a new dream job, a fiancé she adores, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a brief, tumultuous moment. In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Maggie must confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Chip, who wallows in self-pity while simultaneously expecting to be forgiven. Then, there's her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act. Finally, there's Ian, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Ian, who won't let her give in to her pity, and who sees her like no one has seen her before. Sometimes the last thing you want is the one thing you need. Sometimes we all need someone to catch us when we fall. And sometimes love can find us in the least likely place we would ever expect.
