"Writers including Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker
explore sisterhood in this intelligent collection…
The book makes clear that sisters don’t outgrow
their bond…Once a sister, always one."
— People Magazine
"The stories, poems, and memoirs in the new anthology Sisters call forth sweetness and light, fury and a fierce devotion…Wendy Wasserstein fondly recalls her glamorous big sister Sandra taking her out on the town when she was in third grade. M.F.K. Fisher takes herself to task for rebuffing her sister in her hour of need… The collection, edited by Jan Freeman,Emily Wojcik, and Deborah Bull, is published by Paris Press, a non-profit in Ashfield [MA]. Freeman founded the press in 1995 to bring back into print work by Muriel Rukeyser. So it seems fitting that the closing words are Rukeyser’s….”

A New England Children's Bookselling Advisory Council Top 10 Title For 2007!
"As the three friends’ journey into darkness progresses, Tania’s language grows pure and strong in the best style of Hemingway … Tell Me Another Morning is luminous yet modest, rooted in the last century's worst reality, yet without rancor. Who could make up such miracles."
— The Los Angeles Times Read the full article.
"A rediscovered masterpiece of Holocaust literature, first published in 1961 and now lovingly, and vigorously, resurrected. Anne Frank died in the camps, of typhus; Zdena Berger, a Czech girl of about the same age, somehow survived. And, with Tell Me Another Morning, triumphed. Read, breathe, recover, then place on the shelf with Frank, Levi, Wiesel."
— The San Diego Union-Tribune Read the full article.
"Berger’s heart-wrenching novel is an early eyewitness account of the Holocaust, and this welcome reissue deserves a wide audience, particularly in high school and college curriculums."
— Publisher's Weekly Read the full article.
"Words for the unimaginable. Clear-eyed, strong, terrifying, and finally, somehow, hopeful."
— Nicole Kraus, The History Of Love: A Novel
Facing History and Ourselves highly recommends Tell Me Another Morning for use in high-school classes teaching the Holocaust.
