There is also a washing machine in the bathroom if you need to wash clothes with a clothes airer on the balcony, along with an hair dryer. Balson is the author of Once We Were Brothers, Saving Sophie, Karolina's Twins, The Trust and The Girl From Berlin. In telling her story to Catherine and Liam, Lena not only exposes the realities of overcoming the horrors of the Holocaust, she also comes to terms with her own connection to her dark past. Lena, this shining and brave surviving woman, may drive you crazy at times, but we have to honor her pain, struggles and secrets as we would and should honor all survivors, fictional and not.

He did an excellent job in staying true to the historical facts of those years of the Holocaust and what Lena, the main character and survivor, had to go through. I didn’t care for the story of her lawyer and her detective, who get into bickering with another lawyer and court proceedings. With surprises, twists and turns a compelling tale which grabs you from the first page to the last- a journey of survival and a connection to a dark past and the secrets of two twin girls.This book was based partly on a real life survivor of the holocaust who told her tale to the author. She requests the assistance of lawyer Catherine Lockhart and private investigator Liam Taggart and it's in their presence that this poignant tale unfolds. Karolina’s Beauty Studio is located in Hanwell, London, within Tangles Hairdressing, offering a wide range of beauty services. She begins to recount a tale harkening back to her harrowing childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, of the bond she shared with her best friend, the beautiful, vivacious Karolina. Maybe I just know too much about WWII history and the Holocaust, but the fact the twins were still alive and knew they had the same mother seventy years later is ridiculous.

With a home from home atmosphere, you'll have a sofa-bed, TV and dining table in the open-plan lounge. Her son Arthur is disbelieving, not hearing of the twins at all, nor the promise Lena had made to Karolina to find the babies after the war until just 4 years before, shortly before the death of his father David.
