5.0 out of 5 stars
You will never read another book quite like this ever again!
My mother had given me An Interrupted Life: The Diaries of Etty Hillesum when I was twenty two years old. The words, thoughts, heart, and soul of this woman forever changed my life, my perspective, and what I would choose to do with my life. Perhaps what is most amazing about this book is that yes, it is written in the midst of the Holocaust by a young Dutch Jewish woman...

An Interrupted Life
I didn't enjoy this book at all. Etty Hillesum must have been very intellegent and her style of writing depicts a higher level of intellegence but she didn't write with the reader's interest in mind. I thought it was boring and didn't even finish the book. Diary of Ann Frank was much, much better.

This review is from: An Interrupted Life: The Diaries of Etty Hillesum 1941-43 (Paperback)
My mother had given me An Interrupted Life: The Diaries of Etty Hillesum when I was twenty two years old. The words, thoughts, heart, and soul of this woman forever changed my life, my perspective, and what I would choose to do with my life. Perhaps what is most amazing about this book is that yes, it is written in the midst of the Holocaust by a young Dutch Jewish woman living in Amsterdam who eventually does get killed in Auschwitz, but the book is not about the war at all. The inner life, the inner strength and resources of this woman to face her life and still find absolute and startling joy in it despite what was happening all around her, is truly a marvel. I wish for everyone the chance to cross paths with this book.
