Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly - 5 Stars

Lilac Girls tells the stories of 3 women during World War 2. While the women are all very different, their stories intertwine. 

Caroline lives in New York and is working at the French consulate when Hitler invades Poland. This is when her life changes.

Worlds away, in Poland, Kasia's life also changes and her carefree youth is ripped away from her. Herta is a young German doctor who responds to a Nazi ad for doctors and is thrown in to Hitler's evils. 

I really enjoyed the story, but did find it sluggish towards the middle of the book. It did pick back up in the last 10% or so, though. All together it was a moving story.
