This sounds like a well researched books. But non fiction isn't really my style so I might postpone it reading to a later date. I am sure it will be a fantastic book to lovers of the genre with the detail that the author put into even researching her own family line. Thanks for the review.

Stella must have gone down an entire whirlwind discovering how many twins she had in her bloodline. It's always important to learn as much about the holocaust as possible to ensure that something so tragic can be avoided as often as possible.

I can only imagine how Stella felt when she learned she had more family than she knew about due to the frequency of twins in her lineage. What did she discover in her quest to learn more about her family? Thanks for the review!

Woow! How cruel is the world to the extent of Sophia, willing to carry such horrifying secrets to her grave than go through the horror of retelling them. Knowledgeably l know that no matter the secret, it is told to whom it may concern before passing on to the other world but with Sophia's case hmmm, thinking. Interesting review.

Another family ruined by war, destinies become altered, souls are lost and that tragedies shape entire generations. I don't understand how anyone can claim it never happened in the face of glaring evidence! I applaud the author's effort to help remember and prevent it from repeating!

It never ceases to amaze me that some people refuse to acknowledge what happened. Nonetheless, I'd be interested to read about the cause of an unusual number of twins in her family. Nice review as well!

I find it curious to know how the discoveries about the unusually high number of twins within her extended family are associated with horrible secrets that the author's mother would rather take with her to the grave. The topic of the holocaust is always controversial and intriguing.

I don't know why parents continue to keep secrets from their children. It only leads to children digging after what was hidden until they finally find something unpleasant.

To write this book, much research was conducted in which I commend the author for a job well done. It is mind-blowing in and of itself to learn that your family experienced an extremely high number of twin births. Wonderful review

Wow, I think the author was very inspired to look deep into her family aging two centuries. It's a good thing because she came across things she never imagined and discovering things about your family can be very good.

I’ve never been curious about family secrets. I feel like I’d find something that I was better of ignorant about. However I’d like to know why Stella is curious about secrets related to extended family members.

To trace a family tree all the way and link everyone in, so much so that the average person knows when he comes into the scene is no small feat. This is amazing. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

The author's bravery in confronting a painful family history is admirable. This book is an interesting read because it does not lose the reader in too much history. Congratulations on BOTD!!
