Martha Hall Kelly wrote Lilac Girls. My book club discussed this book last night. Each chapter is the voice of a different woman. Caroline is a socialite in New York City. Kasia lives in Poland. One woman, Herta, lives in Germany. This is historical fiction and Herta Oberheuser is an infamous woman during World War Two. I am still learning history. For me, historical fiction is a more palatable option for me to increase my knowledge. You should read this book. The topic isn't always pleasant. There were moments where I got really uncomfortable and then the author would bring my level of angst back down to a reasonable level where I could continue reading.
