Review "The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leaves you forever changed. Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well" (DESMOND TUTU, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate)"I can't imagine a more important message for modern times" (New York Times Book review)"Eger's remarkable spirit shines through in every word" (Stylist)"Edith’s strength and courage are remarkable in this memoir as she draws on her own unthinkable experience in Nazi concentration camps to become a therapist and help others recover from all kinds of hardship. Her life and work are an incredible example of forgiveness, resilience and generosity." (Sheryl Sandberg)"I can’t describe to you how powerful this book is … I barely have words." (Marian Keyes)"There have been many heartrending Holocaust books. But few as powerful as this new memoir by a ballet dancer. " (Daily Mail)"Exceptional…Eger became a friend of Viktor Frankl…and The Choice is a wonderful companion piece to his classic memoir Man’s Search for Meaning. Both books are full of hope…and leave you marvelling at the resilience of mankind" (Daily Express)"One of the most incredible [stories] I’ve ever read – and one you must read too" (Sun)"Rocket-fuelled inspiration" (Psychologies)"Deeply moving...extraordinary insight...It is not surprising that, when Eger speaks, her audiences are roused to give her a standing ovation. For they are not only honouring Edith Eger but also the triumph of the human spirit."
