Lilac Girls follows the intersecting lives of three women, one in New York, one in Poland, and one in Germany, as one of them is sent to the notorious all-women concentration camp Ravensbrück. It's a harrowing tale, but one that needs to be told so it's never forgotten. Not only is this a page-turning narrative, but it also imparts a lot of carefully researched details about the atrocities of World War II. Even though the story tells of dark times, it's uplifting as well because it shows that the human spirit is full of courage and bravery. It's amazing that this is the author's debut novel; I look forward to reading more from her.
