Certainly, this story is precious. With a twist on the original Little Match Girl tale, it transports you to the time of World War II. The story is complete with aches, sorrows, alongside beauty and joy.Cons? The only thing I didn't like was an unexpected swear word.Beautifully poignant, tragic yet hopeful, this is a skillful re-imagining of "The Little Match Girl." It's true in tone to the original tale, but the new setting makes this story perhaps even more heartrending.Note: I originally read Sweet Remembrance in the Once anthology, which I received a free copy of in exchange for my honest review.

Utterly heartbreaking and beautiful. <3 (One instance of profanity and one word I didn't need.)
SO hauntingly beautiful! It tears at the heart with truth and longing. A young Jewish girl, barely living, is pulled to a destination by her memories of first and lost love, through Nazi war torn Poland. Very moving and deep. A great read!

(I'd like to specify that I rate this 4 1/2 stars, but Goodreads won't let you go halves. Which is unfortunate.)The beauty of Sweet Remembrance is hard to put into words. Why? The beauty is so mingled with grief, one can only smile around the ache in the heart.Kasia and Romek are innocently sweet and overflowing with life and love. But darkness comes. Slipping this romantic couple into the midst of a horrifying Jewish ghetto, their sweetness becomes but a wavering beacon in the undiluted
