Martha Hall Kelly presents "Lost Roses"

Join us for an evening with Martha Hall Kelly, bestselling author of "Lilac Girls", as she presents her new novel, "Lost Roses"! There will be an author discussion followed by an audience Q&A and a booksigning.

The million-copy bestseller "Lilac Girls" introduced the real-life heroine Caroline Ferriday. Now "Lost Roses", set a generation earlier and also inspired by true events, features Caroline's mother, Eliza, and follows indomitable women from St. Petersburg to Paris under the shadow of World War I. It is 1914, and Eliza is thrilled to be traveling to St. Petersburg with Sofya Streshnayva, a cousin of the Romanovs and her best friend. But when Austria declares war on Serbia and Russia's imperial dynasty begins to fall, Eliza escapes back to America, while Sofya and her family flee to their country estate. When Sofya's letters suddenly stop coming, she fears the worst for her best friend. In her newest powerful tale told through female-driven perspectives, Martha Hall Kelly celebrates the unbreakable bonds of women's friendship, especially during the darkest days of history.
