Dear Ms. Kelly, I really enjoyed The Lilac Girls - so much that once I finished reading it the 1st time, I actually read it again, to make sure I understood the whole novel. It's one of the best books I've read about the Holocaust! Can recommend books that are similar to yours? Also, when will your next book be released? Thank You, Shelly

Hi Shelly,
I'm so glad you enjoyed Lilac Girls! There are so many good books out there set in WWII--have you read Alyson Richman's The Velvet Hours or Karolina's Twins by Ronald Balson? Irena's Children: The Extraordinary Story of the Woman Who Saved 2,500 Children from the Warsaw Ghetto
by Tilar J. Mazzeo (non-fiction)? Also The Nightingale and All The Light We Cannot See if you have not read those.
My next book comes out in 2018, in the meantime, the Lilac Girls paperback comes out this March. Thanks for your question!

As a book lover and retired history teacher, I read a lot of books. Some good, some not so good. Every once in a while I read an outstanding book. Then there is the "Lilac Girls. Your book has touched me like no other. The inspiration of Kasia and the others and the horrid "how" of Herta. . It is quite simply the best book I have ever read. What happened to Herta after she lost her license?

Not a question, rather a comment that I was very happy to read Kristin Hannah's rave review of Lilac Girls on Goodreads. Have already requested from Gwinnett Public Library. There's a long list of requests ahead of mine, but it gives me something wonderful to anticipate. Here's the required ? mark. Ha!
