SuitabookLa Promesse (French Edition)
Pnina Bat-Zvi, Isabelle Allard
- Reading
- Consider reading together and pausing where the girls share fears or hopes. Let the reader set the pace, and make room for questions about the historical setting.
- Themes
- A promise between sisters: Their parents ask Rachel to stay with Toby; later, the sisters are separated when Rachel becomes ill, and Toby tries to rescue her. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes parents taken by Nazis, Auschwitz, threats to the girls’ lives, illness and separation. These are substantial Holocaust-related subjects to approach with care.
