THE RED RIBBON - LUCY ADLINGTON KARTONIERT (TB)

Rose  Ella  Marta and Carla. In another life we might all have been friends together. But this
was Birchwood. For fans of The Diary of Anne Frank and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. As
fourteen-year-old Ella begins her first day at work she steps into a world of silks  seams 
scissors  pins  hems and trimmings. She is a dressmaker  but this is no ordinary sewing
workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients. Ella has joined the seamstresses of Birkenau-Auschwitz
as readers may recognise it. Every dress she makes could mean the difference between life and
death. And this place is all about survival. Ella seeks refuge from this reality  and from
haunting memories  in her work and in the world of fashion and fabrics. She is faced with
painful decisions about how far she is prepared to go to survive. Is her love of clothes and
creativity nothing more than collaboration with her captors  or is it a means of staying alive?
Will she fight for herself alone  or will she trust the importance of an ever-deepening
friendship with Rose? One thing weaves through the colours of couture gowns and camp mud - a
red ribbon  given to Ella as a symbol of hope.
