Join Elmhurst Public Library for an evening with Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls, Lost Roses, and her new title, Sunflower Sisters.
Kelly speaks about her writing process and the inspiration for her stories. Discussion and question-and-answer period will follow, moderated by library staff.
Kelly s debut novel Lilac Girls became a New York Times bestseller the week it was published in April 2016. The novel is historical fiction, based on the true story of 72 Polish women who were imprisoned and experimented on at Ravensbruck Concentration Camp. Caroline Ferriday, an American philanthropist and former actress, brought them to the U.S. for rehabilitation and the trip of a lifetime.
