Critic Reviews

“Inspirational”

I can’t imagine a more important message for modern times. Eger’s book is a triumph, and should be read by all who care about both their inner freedom and the future of humanity New York Times Book review
Extraordinary….will stick with you long after you read it -- Bill Gates
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
A masterpiece of holocaust literature. Her memoir, like her life, is extraordinary, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure The Times Literary Supplement
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
