As she is going through desks and drawers, Fran comes across a key that opens Gram’s trunk, which is filled with quilts made by generations of Clark women. The key was one she had always loved as a child. Filled with nostalgia, Fran spreads the quilts across the room, and while shedding tears for the loss of her grandmother, she suddenly finds herself transported to 1875, and she is not even sure how she got there.

April 1865. Richmond, Virginia. Two trains. One treasure. And a question worth millions. As the US Civil War was drawing to a close, and Grant was about to take Richmond, two trains left the city in the dark of night. One carried Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet. The other carried the Confederate Treasury guarded by a young midshipman from the CSA Navy. A few weeks later, Davis was captured by Federal troops near Irwinville, Georgia, and the treasure...was gone. People have been speculating on what happened to the Confederate treasure for decades.

Cilka is just 16-years-old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival. When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice?

How could one person possibly endure all that Cilka did?

Brought me to tears
I have been an enormous fan of Heather Morris' The Tattooist of Auschwitz since it released. Once I found out she would be expanding upon one of its more mysterious characters, I waited with bated breath for Cilka's Journey. I was devastated, heartbroken, and yet also filled with hope while listening to the story of Cilka's life in Auschwitz, and the horrors she continued to endure after the war ended. This is a deeply moving story inspired by a real life person who faced the worst of humanity, yet who maintained a spirit so gentle, humble, and charitable that I was brought to tears multiple times.

Fascinating story, expertly read
- By libragal on 2018-06-20
Madeline Miller is now one of my favourite authors
I had literal shivers as the narrator spoke the last few sentences of the novel. I had fallen in love with Madeline Miller’s beautiful writing in Song of Achilles, and after Circe I had fallen even deeper in love with it. It has this calm, smooth, melodic feeling to it like an ancient poem spun into life. It amazes me how Madeline can carve living, breathing characters out of mythological figures with such realism.
Perdita Weeks was a wonderful narrator, in my opinion, the perfect one for this novel. I did listen to it at 0.8-0.9 speed as it is my preference. I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys great writing, and especially if you’re interested in Greek mythology at all.
