Stories of hope, and stories of listening and how to listen - the premise to Heather Morris's new non-fiction book.For those who've read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey, this is a complementary read - detailing more of the relationship that Heather builds with Lale Sokolov, and the process by which she listened to his story.It's also a book to help us all listen, giving hints and tips on active listening, and how to look after yourself if you're listening to traumatic events. I en...
I have read the previous two books by this author and was completely blown away by them so I jumped on the opportunity to read this book.I don't want to give away any spoilers but if you take one piece of advice away from this book it is to listen to everyone but especially your elders.With thanks to Netgalley & Bonnier Books for the arc of this exchange for this review#StoriesofHope #NetGalley
In Stories of Hope, Heather Morris takes us on an inspirational journey through some of the defining experiences of her life, including her profound friendship with Lale Sokolov, the tattooist at Auschwitz-Birkenau and the inspiration for her bestselling novel. Heather Morris will explore her extraordinary talents as a listener - a skill she employed when she first met Lale. It was this ability that led Lale to entrust Heather with his story, which she told as the novel The Tattooist of Auschwit...
After reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilkas journey I was really looking forward to reading Stories of Hope. Although this book was very different, as it was a personal story of Heather Morris’s life experiences it was just as thought provoking as her previous books . In our busy lives we sometimes forget the skill of listening. So many people around us have a story to tell and if we can actively listen our own understanding and life can be enriched. Heathers skill of listening was beaut...
i don’t normally read non-fiction but after how much i loved the tattooist of auschwitz i had to give this a try and it did not disappoint! super insightful i definitely recommend
The Tattooist of Auschswitz and Cilka's Journey have had powerful impacts on everyone I know who has read them and all the millions of others out there around the world. The Tattooist in particular has run riot through shop tills, book clubs, families and friends, long library waiting lists. It has resonated so strongly because it is true, told straight from the horse's mouth, hours of interviews, talking, meeting, carefully peeling back the layers of Lale and Gita's lives. And with a love story...
This book, smacking of contract-filler as it does, is going to shift millions. The first essay here recounts of our author's childhood memories, and tells us with as much depth, conviction and artistry as a Reader's Digest Magazine article might, about how it's good to sit and listen to old relatives. The second is a look back at why we know this author in the first place – the way she sat listening to the tattooist of Auschwitz, before turning it into a much-derided, yet damnably easy-to-read,
This book should be titled 'How to Listen', it wasn't the stories of hope I was expecting.
Thank you, Bonnier Books UK, for inviting me to view Stories of Hope by Heather Morris. I don’t usually read nonfiction but as it is the author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, I thought I would give it a go.This is the bio of Heather Morris after a troubled childhood she moves to Australia and the incidents that lead up to meeting Lale Sokolov and writing the Tattooist of Auschwitz. It was originally was going to be a screenplay but after the tale he told, and that Heather documented she thought
Maybe I misunderstood the synopsis of the book as I was expecting something different to what was delivered. I thought I was getting a book that had a collection of inspiring memoirs, full of hope and joy - something that we could all do with at this time, I think. What I got was felt like a patronising self help book with long sections on how great the author is at listening, telling us how to be as good as her at it and peppered with the stories we wanted in between.The only thing I enjoyed wa...
