I continue to enjoy the wonderful East Albemarle library and not tackle the piles and piles of books I was going to take on this summer. Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly has been on my reading wishlist for a while and I was excited to find it on the library shelf. It was a delightful treat. While depressing and about World War II, in many ways, it was uplifting too. Three intersecting stories, one in New York City, one in Poland, and one in Germany weave together as do the lives of three women affected by the war. It was fascinating and I was surprised to find at the end that it was based on a true story. I highly recommend.
