Lilac Girls is an excellent debut novel by Martha Hall Kelly. It's a story of New York socialite Caroline Ferriday, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, and an ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser and their history of what they suffered during WW II that should not be forgotten. It was inspired by actual events and people. I found the story to be a definite page-turner and hard to put down. It is not for the faint of heart as the vivid descriptions reveal the bravery, cowardice, and cruelty of those days. The characters are well-drawn and will not be forgotten long after finishing the book. I look forward to reading the next book from Martha Hall Kelly as I found her writing to be very moving and memorable. I would highly recommend this book to those who like to read historical fiction.
