REVIEWS FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS

5.0 out of 5 starsHeartbreakingly truthful

Format: Kindle Edition

A woman’s incredibly harrowing journey throughout immense tragedy and survival during the political turmoil that lead-up to the Holocaust. Definitely a must read for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 starsAuthentically Written & Extremely Personal

ByMys MTOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon July 5, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Paulette Mahurin is one of my favourite authors.  Her books are always well-researched and well-written.  The Seven Year Dress is no exception.  Helen Stein was just a teenager when Hitler came to power in Berlin.  Her family was Jewish.  Her best friend, Max, was homosexual.  Before long both would have their families torn apart and their lives in extreme danger.  This is Helen’s story.

Myra is a young nursing student at UCLA looking to rent a room near the hospital.  She is struggling with her Jewishness.  She moves in with Helen.  One night, upset by her experience in the emergency room where a gunshot patient died, Helen offers her the opportunity to talk.  The tables turn, and, over a fresh pot of tea, Helen begins the story of her terrifying experiences in Germany when her family became separated — years she and her brother spent in hiding, unspeakable indignities she suffered after she was captured, special friendships she made amidst the terror in Auschwitz, all making up the story of the patch of fabric she has kept from the dress she wore for seven years.

This is not an easy book to read although it is superbly written and beautifully woven together.  There is a great deal of information about the holocaust and we may think that we have heard it all but it is an amazing revelation to have a personal story, albeit fictionalized, told in the first person.  Helen shares not only the dehumanizing elements of the concentration camp experience but the tender kindnesses she observed during her time there.  This is a timeless story of real events that should never be forgotten.  It won’t take you long to read because you won’t be able to put it down.

4.0 out of 5 starsHaunting story based on real-life events

ByJYon 9 July 2017

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Some subjects are difficult to read about, and the Holocaust is surely foremost among them. Yet it’s important that they aren’t forgotten and so someone has to take on the challenge of writing about them. In The Seven Year Dress, Paulette Mahurin has risen to that challenge.

Based upon a true story, the book tells the story of Helen, a Jewish girl from Berlin, as she struggles to survive in the run up to the Second World War and through the war itself. As her friends and family fall victim, one by one, to the evil of the Third Reich, Helen’s struggle for survival becomes desperate as she faces the horrors of hiding and, eventually, imprisonment in Auschwitz.

The book is beautifully written and Helen, the main character, felt very real. Much of the action (if you can describe it the plethora of beatings and executions as that) was described sparingly so that I felt disengaged from the action, and for me that was a good thing, although Helen came across plenty of good people in her journey through horror.

Despite its positive ending, I can’t, in all honesty, say I enjoyed The Seven Year Dress, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good book. I strongly recommend it, if you’re prepared for the challenges of the subject matter.

On Saturday, their family removed their collars and leashes and told the shelter staff, they just didn’t have time to care for the dogs. A volunteer standing by watched the heartbreaking moment. This will be the saddest thing you see today or maybe all week, and it will be hard to get out of your mind…. SNOWBALL is missing an eye and the one he has doesn’t look great. His big sister BELLA takes care of him.”

She is his eyes, heart & protector. This pair was made for each other. Such a beautifully bonded pair. Carson shelter survivors ❤️”

Review of To Live Out Loud by Rabid Reader’s Review

A heartfelt thank you to Rabid Reader’s Review for this post on my book To Live Out Loud: http://www.rabidreaders.com/2017/07/12/live-loud-novel-paulette-mahurin/

 

To Live Out Loud: A Novel by Paulette Mahurin

Publication Date: July 28, 2015

 

In 1894 Captain Richard Dreyfus, a French Artillery Officer was convicted of treason for passing military secrets to the Germans. Dreyfus was sent to Devil’s Island in French Guiana to live out his sentence. When a few years later evidence that Dreyfus was innocent was discovered, the French military did everything they could to suppress the information. French journalist, Emile Zola, ran with the story of the gross injustice in the periodical J’Accuse and became a target of those looking to keep the story under wraps and Dreyfus incarcerated. To Live Out Loud is the story of this historic case and Zola’s coverage of it and the ultimate pursuit of justice at all costs.

 

The author sent a copy of this novel in exchange for my review.

In fiction there are absolutes. Good vs. Evil is a simple concept. To Live Out Loud takes a true injustice that happened to a real person and simplifies it to its base qualities for an introduction to an audience that may never have learned about the Dreyfus Affair in their primary-level, history class. In a truth being stranger than fiction sense, Mahurin takes the facts of the case and lays them out in an easy-to-follow format with the ultimate result being more of Zola’s involvement in the case and his ploy to free the falsely convicted captain.

Mahurin’s writing style is very direct. Her simplistic style allows her to tell a complete and very complicated story in a scant 178 pages. Fiction allows leeway for human motivations and conclusions, but while Mahurin does add her own take on Zola’s motivations, she sticks fairly close to the generally accepted narrative. Mahruin’s word picture of the environment of antisemitism and no holds barred suppression of those that knew the truth, is both awful and factual. Historically speaking, the Dreyfus Affair was an intricate and insidious conspiracy. What Zola did, he did to bring the case to light despite those desperately trying to keep it under wraps to force the government to do the just thing through public exposure. People suspect today that his ultimate passing as a consequence of involvement, though experts consider that unlikely despite the multiple attempts made on his life during the height of his fervent involvement in Captain Dreyfus’ case.

I was familiar with the Dreyfus Affair before reading To Live Out Loud. As someone interested in history, I appreciated the picture that Mahurin gives us of Europe at the time. There’s an electricity of fear and suspicion in the people. It was believed that Dreyfus would be a traitor because he was a Jew. There were those that thought even after he was exonerated that his conviction was ultimately for the good of the country and not for the self-interest of those that sought to suppress the truth.

Mahruin’s writing is elegant in its direct simplicity. Taking the fictional route she draws readers into a historical fiction roller coaster and takes them on a straightforward route from A-Z which, I think, will inspire many readers to research the case further. Mahurin has a track record in her fiction of shining a light on the attitudes and atrocities of the past, humanizing the subject for the readers and serving as a cautionary tale without preaching to them. To Live Out Loud is well edited and a read that some will find too quick.

To Live Out Loud is an outstanding work of historical fiction and a must-read for everyone, especially those interested in the history of human rights violations. Pick it up today.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe amazing story of Helen,

ByKindle Customeron June 28, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Every time I read a book about survivors of the death camps created by the Nazis I am in awe of how they survived and, in return helped others make it through the horrors of all those years. Growing up after what transpired it scares me to know that people are still being tortured for their differences. We have learned very little from those years in what Nazis were able to spread their evil and murder innocent men, women and children.
Helen’s story is one of the most explicit when it came down to her description of the hell she went to and the miraculous strength needed to survive ,..the most basic things that we humans have to help others in need.
I hope others will read this book and pull together to stop the inhumanity we see in world. Hopefully the story will continue to help and be heard for the truth it tells. Books like this should be on the reading lists the high school students are to read. We must not let these stories die, buried in some library.

The Seven Year Dress
by Paulette Mahurin (Goodreads Author)

Dileep Viswanathan’s ***** review  from Bangalore, India

Jun 25, 2017

it was amazing

 

“The rules of our religion did not define us, yet others were defining us by our religion.” Helen was so furious about the way the state treated her community and that was the beginning of something which was referred to as ‘the brutal’ statutory regulations imposed on its citizens ever marked in the history of mankind. This is how fascism also originates, in it’s true sense.

The Seven Year Dress by Paulette Mahurin is a work of fiction which makes you travel through the Nazist Germany and the atrocities created by Hitler when the state turned executioner for its people. When teen-aged Helen has to flee from her family with her brother and friend, the sufferings they had in an underground shelter and then shifted to the concentration camps of Auschwitz and the atrocities they faced there, the blood shed, the murders and the brutal act upon humans are painted viciously in the book. This book gives us nothing new to what we saw about the cruelty of Nazis in books and movies, but the first hand narration of a victim makes this one more emotional.

“You never know a person until you hear his or her story. Stories change how you feel about someone.” – True to the core. A good read.

I’ve seen movies and read other books written around the German death camps and the Jewish people.
The way the author’s language portrayed the lead character’s perspective really touched me… the unbelievable horror as well as the heartfelt compassion that she held in her heart to get her through what must be the worst ordeal ever!It was not the horror I recall so much as that inimitable human spirit that others too manage to find when the worst hits – really interesting story.

5.0 out of 5 starsPOWERFUL BUT CONFRONTING

BymeganTOP 10 REVIEWERon 8 June 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

The Seven Year Dress by Paulette Mahurin was a poignant and engaging book following German girl, Helen Stein’s life from a carefree youth, to adolescence, to concentration camp under the Third Reich and finally being a survivor of the horrors of war and the inhumanity that was, the Holocaust. The story was a book of historical fiction, but the real Helen wrote the Forward, so it had a firm basis in truth which was cleverly and seamlessly woven throughout.
Given the theme, the narrative was certainly a challenging one, but a real page-turner as the writing, plot, pacing, reseach, imagery and character development were of a very high standard.
Paulette delivered a powerful message regarding the unconquerable human spirit, but readers should be aware that there are many confronting scenes of horror, cruelty and antisemitism, as would be expected. In addition, the story depicted personal fantasies and dark behaviours that the author may have included as an extension of human behaviour, given the times and circumstances.
This was my first Paulette Mahurin read. She seems to be a natural story-teller as she gradually unfolded information in a timely fashion and, while never preachy, she offered reflections and raised issues to ponder. Her style was conversational, yet a touch lyrical and fluid, so it came across as realistic, emotional and tragic, but relatable and even warm at times.
I highly recommend The Seven Year Dress to readers who are interested in the era, but are mentally and emotionally prepared for such a distressing and brutal subject.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR THE PERSECUTION OF MILDRED DUNLAP

Sets in 1895 and talks of the present, May 31, 2017

By surabhi

This review is from: The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap (Paperback)

‘The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap’ is set in 1895 when the world stormed with the news of the conviction of one of the most successful playwrights, novelists, poets and short story writers and noted celebrity Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years of hard imprisonment after being convicted of “gross indecency.”

The story is of two women Mildred Dunlap and her cousin Edra is a subject of gossip for the people of Red River Pass, a small town in Nevada who finds themselves in the similar circumstances as of Mr. Wilde.

The book is worth every penny and every second you give to this book. The book makes a point from the opening chapters and concludes on a note. It is a thoughtful writing and slap on the biased and judgmental thinking of people who loves to subjugate other people and wish to find faults based on their life choices. The story is based in 1895 but it reads as it talks the present time.

The book is well written as plot and subplots of the story are intelligently designed. It is a beautiful story capturing the struggle of human rights and how love and friendship bring strength and healing in the life of two women.

Bull has been rescued. Every once in a while a dog catches your eye and breaks your heart. Bull has been in the shelter 8 months and despite the fact he had over 800 pledges and 2,000 shared social media posts, he had been overlooked. Finally he was rescued by an incredible rescue group/woman, given training at a ranch and is now happy with his new mom who works from home and gives him lots of loving attention. This one made my day.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS

AMAZON U.S.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent historical fiction.

ByReggieon May 27, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Another amazing story of survival from the holocaust. Author Paulette Mahurin weaves a great story. I read a few of the other reviews for this book, and the occasional negative comment was that the main character has sexual feelings within a stressful situation of being in hiding and later in a concentration camp. I’m seventy, and therefore listened to first-hand accounts from survivors of those camps and they did have sexual feelings. The story in real in that regard. A fine read.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Tale of Horrors of Nazi Germany

ByBobbie (Phyllis) Gibsonon May 25, 2017

A story of horror and deprivation beautifully told . It shows how one can survive agony and terror and have the will to survive.

The Seven Year Dress challenges the reader to come up for air at every turn of events. The harrowing experiences are thoughtfully shared with vivid recollection. The will to survive cannot be portrayed better than Paulette Mahurin has done.

Wow! What a beautiful and dreadful story all at the same time. Thank you Helen for your story. It’s unimaginable the horror that these people lived and died through and how one man could have orchestrated it all. This story was told in such a manner that you felt you were there. I had no trouble visualizling how these people looked and I could taste the fear in the sentences. Well done, beautifully written.

RECENT REVIEW FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS

5.0 out of 5 stars4.5 Stars – A Powerful and Heart-Touching story

ByC. Morganon May 19, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

A powerful and heart-touching story of tragedy, compassion, horror, love and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Though the story relates historically accurate details many of us would prefer to turn aside from; the author also shares poignant insights into the German perspective of anti-Semitism Nazism. I skimmed past the sexual fantasy scenes that seemed incongruous, but they serve as a potent reminder that humans are humans regardless of place and situation, and often because of it. Not a story for the faint-hearted or someone looking for a silver-lined view of one of humanities darkest hours; The Seven Year Dress is a book that is neither easily laid aside, nor forgotten.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS

ByRuth Kellyon May 15, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Excellent book! I read it in one sitting! I would definitely recommend it…even though a fictional story…the events occurred multiple times over during one of the worst periods of history!

5.0 out of 5 starsA definite page-turner

Bysurabhion May 10, 2017

Format: Paperback

A must read.

In 1919, Helen Stein born to a Jewish family in Berlin, Germany and raised with love with her three siblings. She is happy to find her best friend in Max; forced to play a role in the German army. The story weaved during the time of World War II. How a girl in Auschwitz tortured and tormented, seeing death and brutality, midst of blood bath and hypocrites mocking and laughing at the pain of the people and finding pleasure in hurting and killing people whose only crime is that they are Jews and in a position of helplessness.

A treat to historical fiction reader. It is not only about history and the story interweaved around the period. The way the story unfolds and captivates the reader is phenomenal. The author put the well-researched documented historical facts remarkably. The book is admirable and brilliant. The story touched the heart of the readers and compels to ask what kind of humans would do such barbaric act with another human.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant!

ByDiezon May 8, 2017

Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase

A brilliant writer of books possesses many qualities: a journalist’s nose for a great story and the chops to tell it superbly; a professor’s acute facility for language; a Pulitzer Prize winner’s razor sharp mind that intuits every necessary plot angle; a mystic’s steadfast soul charging headlong into its matchless destiny; and a warrior’s unwavering courage despite any odds, any costs. Author Paulette Mahurin embodies all of those qualities. The part of her I admire the most, however, is her fearlessness–that brave heart–that heart that goes places too many other authors avoid for fear of the consequences to their career, their adherence to political correctness–places that need exposing to tell the whole truth. Mahurin sees injustice; she hates injustice; she wants to right injustice, and she proclaims it to the world in her writing. She wants to make a difference, and I have to believe she does just that, and she does it extraordinarily well in her “The Seven Year Dress.”

I am a student of World War II. I have a library overflowing with tomes on the subject, both non-fiction and fiction. This excellent work of historical fiction will hold a special place among them, and is one I will return to again and again.

It was very obvious upon rescuing this very timid shy beauty that she had been used to breed her entire life. Upon arriving at her fosters house she quickly made it known she missed her pups as she would gather up to 8 toys at a time and take them to her crate where she would look after and protect. Now 2 weeks and 2 days later she is blooming she has dropped her shyness and shed her pain of having her pups taken from her way too soon.“
