À propos de cet audio

The gripping tale about two boys, once as close as brothers, who find themselves on opposite sides of the Holocaust.

Elliot Rosenzweig, a respected civic leader and wealthy philanthropist, is attending a fundraiser when he is suddenly accosted and accused of being a former Nazi SS officer named Otto Piatek, the Butcher of Zamosc. Although the charges are denounced as preposterous, his accuser is convinced he is right and engages attorney Catherine Lockhart to bring Rosenzweig to justice. Solomon persuades attorney Catherine Lockhart to take his case, revealing that the true Piatek was abandoned as a child and raised by Solomon's own family only to betray them during the Nazi occupation. But has Solomon accused the right man?

Once We Were Brothers is Ronald H. Balson's compelling tale of two boys and a family who struggle to survive in war-torn Poland, and a young love that struggles to endure the unspeakable cruelty of the Holocaust. Two lives, two worlds, and sixty years converge in an explosive race to redemption that makes for a moving and powerful tale of love, survival, and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit.

Ce que les critiques en disent

<p>“This is as compelling a story as you would ever want to read...This book is different in its passion and its presentation. It is worth your time and you won't be disappointed. Once We Were Brothers is a new look at an old story, and it will stay with you long after you have finished it.” —<i>Jackie K Cooper, Huffington Post</i><br><br>“The phenomenal triumph of lawyer-author John Grisham's legal thrillers has spawned surprisingly few successful emulators; however, Chicago attorney Balson's first novel, while featuring a young lawyer heroine, Catherine Lockhart, who sees her bar admission as a license to further justice, is no simple imitation of Grisham's entertaining potboilers..., this novel is uplifting and moving, intelligently written and featuring historically accurate context and an unusual insight into human character and motivations. Highly recommended for all readers.” —<i>Starred Library Journal Review</i><br><br>“Balson does a number of things superbly: he crafts a highly readable plotline and makes great use of the Chicago backdrop…many will enjoy this gripping novel for its narrative drive and its emotional storytelling.” —<i>Booklist Review</i><br><br>“The author describes the atrocities of wartime Poland and the beautiful, eternal romance between Ben Solomon and his wife, Hannah. Balson's first novel is hard to put down.” —<i>The Jewish Book World</i><br><br>“A legal thriller...a reader knows he's writing from the inside. ” —<i>Chicago Jewish Star</i></p>

This is such a great book, like a history lesson and mystery wrapped up in one. I gasped aloud more than once. This story rips your heart out frequently, especially near the end. I really enjoy the writing style, and appreciate that due to how it is written, you get breaks between intense parts. Also, love the narration.

Great story line, narration was great.

The only comment I would say, is there were 2-3 instances where a cliche was used that I felt didn't fit quite right.

Very happy with the book.

Great Story

My hubby and I always listen to audible books when we travel….even he really enjoyed this book. We kept going back & forth if Elliot really was who he was accused of being. The only thing I did not like was when the character Catherine would keep saying she wasn’t good enough, or wasn’t a good attorney. I understand that people don’t always see their own values but it was through out the whole book. Other than that, we totally enjoyed it.

Enjoyed it!

I don’t normally write reviews but this book deserved one. I don’t plan on giving a synopsis of the book. You just have to read it but I’m going to say one thing, this was quite likely one of the best books I’ve ever heard/read. The performance and story were both incredible. Just read this book. I wish I could give it 10 starts.

Heartbreaking but so inspiring.
