Recommended by Andrea, who says, "In this prequel to the breakout hit Lilac Girls, Kelly tells the story of Caroline Ferriday's mother Eliza, and her efforts to help Russian emigres to the United States in the wake of the Russian Revolution. The story is told from three points of view: Eliza, Sofya Streshneva, a Russian noblewoman and cousin of the czar who has to flee her home; and Varenka, a Russian peasant girl whose life becomes entwined with Sofya's. The story has a slow start but builds momentum, and by the middle of the book, I was anxious to find out what would happen next. An interesting look at Russia during the revolution and another great book club book from Martha Hall Kelly.''
