Lilac Girls (Lilac Girls, #1)
by

A dynamite blend of fact, fiction and thematic storytelling.
The pages breeze by and it isn't clear just how carefully crafted it is until the author's note at the end, where she explains all the real world significance. I'm always amazed by authors who can effortlessly weave in history without being mundane. Historical fiction writers take note! This is a text to study.
If I were to critique anything, I'd say it did feel overlong in places and the romantic interests never quite felt authentic. Very minor complaints, though. Recommended!

I read this book a couple of years ago and was astonished at how effortlessly the author switched between the character arcs. I'm glad to know someone else felt the same way and enjoyed the book as well.
