Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly is an extremely well researched book of historical fiction about Ravensbruck, the only all women’s Nazi concentration camp. Lilac Girls is told from three women’s voices; Caroline, a New York society woman who is committed to helping women and children impacted by the war, Kasia, a Polish prisoner at Ravensbruck and Herta, a German doctor at the camp. Lilac Girls will keep you engaged until the very end and as a bonus, the novel contains an informative author’s note.
