Are stinging my eyes again. Incredibly erotic and moving.

Well done, you!

I'll be running this story thru my head for days. Very erotic beginning, heartrending ending.

Very well done Sam, very well done indeed.

Well...if I wasn't already awake this morning, this certainly did the trick. Drew me in by the end of the first few paragraphs, and had me the rest of the way hoping that, just maybe, she had managed to make her way through the camps...but I suspected she hadn't.

This was a first work? Hope it is not the last by a long shot.

You have a beautiful way of putting into words emotions, thoughts, and love.

It's beautiful, Sam

You are truly gifted. Brilliantly written.

You'd think men would'nt be onto stories like that, but once i started i had to finish it..it was absoulutely a wonderful read, and this is the first time iv'e ever made a comment about any story...c'e magnifique...lol.

I thought the emotions of love lost were incredibly accurate and moving. The moments of discovery were poignant and honest. My favorite part was about the combs, though. Very nice piece all around.

A story of heartbreaking loss, yes, but there was such love, as well. Brava!

how much this moved me, on every level. I'm glad I'm alone, because right now, physical speech is impossible, I can't get past the lump in my throat or the tears in my eyes. Stunning work Sam. Please, please write more. Mat xxxx

Takes a lot to earn a 5 from me.

Nicely written; good story.

The Power. The Emotion. The sadness. The futility. The pain.

Wow, beautifully written. I could almost hear Ms Piaf. Excellent work Sam. You are truly talented

and, aspire to the same realization on all levels.

It's starting to come...small personal indications... I see the pain and the beauty of living. Beginning to see it through your eyes... I can sense acceptance now, when I couldn't before...whole acceptance is key to many things, in this new perspective.

Thank you for helping me heal.

For me, emotion is what makes a good story; not the dry, repititive sex scenes. I love this story...so sad. It made me cry.

.... like many others who have commented before me I can simply say through my tears that it was moving and wonderfully written.

Sam, this is a very elegantly woven tale. The sultry atmosphere and pace of it reminded me of the works of Anaïs Nin, and I'm grateful for the experience of reading it. :O)

Usually all i find to read is something lusty. This was loving and it made me happy as well as sad. I kept hoping as i read it that her lover would somehow return...but she didnt.

Usually I can't stand time period writing because it's so overdone like beating a dead horse. However you made the history come alive because of your focus on this personal relationship that felt so sincere it brought tears to my eyes. It is very believable, keep on writing!!

This was incredible; it's so sad and makes me hate nazis even more then I already do. I want to kill every single one of those nazi bastards.

Omg, this is such a heartbreaking story... :( a love lost to the cruelty of humanity.. :c

And poetic.

Thank you for the effort and for the talent.
