Books like Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, the novel follows three women from different corners of Europe and America. New York socialite Caroline Ferriday navigates life as a consulate employee while a new romance emerges, only to be shattered by the German invasion of Poland. Polish teenager Kasia Kuzmerick becomes a daring courier for the underground resistance, risking her life as her youth is stripped away. German medical student Herta Oberheuser pursues a government position, only to find herself absorbed into the male‑dominated world of Nazi power. When Kasia is deported to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, the sisters‑in‑arms of fate must cross continents—from New York to Paris, Germany and Poland—to bring justice to those forgotten by history.
