About this audiobook

Sixty-four years ago, Susannah Morgan managed to flee the horrors of the Holocaust. But the memories of that childhood ordeal have proven impossible to sweep away.

For most of her new life spent settled in sleepy North Carolina, the flashbacks have been a lonely obsession—one she has hidden from her family, and about which her heart is torn. Because for all the pain and the cruelty of those terrible years, she harbours sweet memories too, of unexpected friends who risked their own lives in order to save hers. As Susannah’s time on earth draws to a close, her innermost thoughts of those long-gone days become questions—ones that demand answers.

Against the wishes of her children, Susannah returns to Germany and the scene of unspeakable crimes. There she will come face to face with the Holocaust’s terrible, wretched legacy, and will finally make peace with the ghosts of her past.

Revised edition: This edition of The Sugar Men includes editorial revisions.

    I read this book in one sitting while traveling across country by air, and found myself thoroughly engrossed in the story. It is the fictional account of a woman who survived the Holocaust as a prisoner in Bergen-Belsen. She continues to have nightmares and returns to Germany to confront her horrifically painful past. Recommended to those who enjoy family histories or historical fiction centered around the Holocaust.

    Near the end of her days, a terminally ill holocaust survivor travels back to Germany to lay to rest the memories that have haunted her life. Susannah was a teenager when the war ended and the British soldiers shut down the prison camp. Although she was free those memories and nightmares have tortured her for 65 years. They have become part of her very being and she can not let go of a past that is embedded in her soul and effected every aspect of her life from her shopping habits to her marriage, to the way she has raised her children. This was a heart wrenching read. Have tissues near by.

    Sugar Men was really good, a steady paced, historical read about life in Bergen- Belsen during WW2. Unbelievably realistic. I'd have given the book a higher star rating but the ending just plain suc-ed.....drawn out and disconnected. Just my opinion.
