From New York Times bestselling author Heather Morris comes the memoir of a life of listening to others. In Listening Well, Heather will explore her extraordinary talents as a listener—a skill she employed when she first met Lale Sokolov, the tattooist at Auschwitz-Birkenau and the inspiration for her bestselling novel. It was this ability that led Lale to entrust Heather with his story, which she told in her novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz and the bestselling follow up, Cilka''s Journey.

Nesse romance histórico, um testemunho de coragem daqueles que ousaram enfrentar o sistema da Alemnha Nazista, o leitor será conduzido pelos horrores vividos dentro dos campos de concentração nazistas e verá que o amor não pode ser limitado por muros e cercas. Lale Sokolov e Gita Fuhrmannova, dois judeus eslovacos, se conheceram em um dos mais terríveis lugares que a humanidade já viu: o campo de concentração e extermínio de Auschwitz, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. No campo, Lale foi incumbido de tatuar os números de série dos prisioneiros que chegavam trazidos pelos nazistas - literalmente marcando na pele das vítimas o que se tornaria um grande símbolo do Holocausto. Ainda que fosse acusado de compactuar com os carcereiros, Lale, no entanto, aproveitara sua posição privilegiada para ajudar outros prisioneiros, trocando joias e dinheiro por comida para mantê-los vivos e designando funções administrativas para poupar seus companheiros do trabalho braçal do campo. Neste ambiente, feito para destruir tudo o que tocasse, Lale e Gita viveram um amor proibido, permitindo-se viver mesmo sabendo que a morte era iminente.

From Heather Morris, the New York Times bestselling author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka''s Journey: a story of family, courage, and resilience, inspired by a true story. Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Livia, Magda, and Cibi have clung together, nearly died from starvation and overwork, and the brutal whims of the guards in this place of horror. But now, the allies are closing in and the sisters have one last hurdle to face: the death march from Auschwitz, as the Nazis try to erase any evidence of the prisoners held there. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days before being rescued. And this is where the story begins. From there, the three sisters travel to Israel, to their new home, but the battle for freedom takes on new forms. Livia, Magda, and Cibi must face the ghosts of their past--and some secrets that they have kept from each other--to find true peace and happiness. Inspired by a true story, and with events that overlap with those of Lale, Gita, and Cilka, The Three Sisters will hold a place in readers'' hearts and minds as they experience what true courage really is. --
