Lilac Girls

Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good historical fiction of WWII. It seems like you’ve read everything about a certain time era but there are as many stories to tell as the people having the experiences. This one told of the experimental operations that went on in Ravensbruck concentration camp, as well as the American socialite who championed the girls after they were released. Continuing the story after their release was definitely a new perspective...how do you go back to your “old” life? Kelly also attempted to tell part of the story from Herta, one of the nurses at the camp. Although it was a good and new perspective, I felt like she was the least developed character, and her point of view was abandoned in the later part of the novel. Still, an amazing story.
