Lilac Girls (Kelly) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Kelly’s compelling first novel follows three women through the course of World War II and beyond.... Despite some horrific scenes, this is a page-turner demonstrating the tests and triumphs civilians faced during war, complemented by Kelly’s vivid depiction of history and excellent characters.
Publishers Weekly


Kelly’s three narrators are based on actual people whose destinies converged in or around Ravensbruck, Hitler’s concentration camp for women.... Kelly vividly re-creates the world of Ravensbruck but is less successful integrating the wartime experience of Caroline, whose involvement with the surviving Rabbits comes very late.
