@Lisa I’m going on Tuesday night also with a friend! Can’t wait to discuss it! I really loved both books and I am so excited about the third book that she is working on, set in the Civil War!
I am in the minority and liked Lost Roses more than Lilac Girls. It could be because I’ve read so many books set in Nazi Germany and found the Russian history of Lost Roses really interesting.
Barnes & Noble chose it for their Book Club Night on Tuesday, May 7. I believe it is scheduled at all their stores. I think I will go and hear the discussion about the book.
Loved it!!!
I did t know there were any. Will have to check it out.
I also loved it!
I didn’t realize there was a prequel.
I am reading it right now!
I had a hard time getting into it but I’m going to try again, not removed from the TBR pile just juggled to a different spot.
@Sheila it gets better try again
Half way through
Reading it now! I’m going to the B&N book club night Tuesday about this book!
@Lisa let us know how it was received
I will! It’s my first book club night there. I have it on kindle and bought the book club edition just for this

Three quarters through and put it aside to finish later. Not as good as Lilac Girls.
Loved it. Have not read lilac girls yet.
In the process – loving it so far .
Not yet. On my TBR list. Summer reading list here I come!!!
Wait listed at the library. Approx 4 wks
Yes, very good!
Read Lilac Girls and loved it. Lost Roses has arrived and in my TBR stack.
I liked it. Liked Lilac Girls better. She is working on another prequel.
Have them both, but have not yet read either.
It’s not as good as Lilac Girls but I liked it. Excited for the next one!
It’s a good story it just didn’t grab me like Lilac Girls did.

liked it better
Reading it now.
Loved it.
I read it a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it, but thought it was missing some of the magic or just “something” that made Lilac Girls so special.
Love Martha’s writing and both The Lilac Girls and Lost Roses. Look forward to the Barnes & Noble book club discussion.
Loved it. Started out slow but if you stick with it you will be glad
Up next in my pile?
Loved it
I didn’t love it like I loved Lilac Girls. I felt no connection to the characters.
I’ve read and loved Lilac Girls, and this is on my TBR list. Seems like everyone is talking about these right now!
@Ashley
I’m almost finished it. Loving it!
Loved it!
Just finished it last night and it was enjoyable! Typical me…I haven’t read The Lilac Girls so that starts today.
Just finished it. Loved it!
Read it now about half way done I really am enjoying it a lot.
Prequal?
I tried to read it. Finally stopped. Found it boring and never found the plot.
Barnes & Noble chose it for their Book Club Night on Tuesday, May 7. I believe it is scheduled at all their stores. I think I will go and hear the discussion about the book.
Great book!
I’m reading it currently for the Barnes and Noble book club
I read both and preferred Lilac Girls.
What’s it about?
Write when you find out. I’d love to know too!
Both of them. Lilac Girls tough book. Loved Lost Roses ?
Reading it now…
Yes! Loved Lost Roses!
Reading Lost Roses next!
Both books were very good, loved them
It wasn’t nearly as intense as Lilac Girls, but a very good look into the world of Russian aristocracy.
I didnt think it was as good as Lilac Girls alittle disappointed
I didn’t even know about it. I will put it on my list.
I’m 100 pages into the book. Enjoying it so far.
Very good sequel
Not yet on my tbr list!
I read it and liked it a lot.
Reading it right now- its a little disjointed but the story is essentially great
I did not like Lilac Girls so I am skipping it.
Yes! I really enjoyed the book ?
Yes. Very good!
No but it’s in my tbr pile. I’ll read Lilac girls again before I read it.
Getting ready to….next in my line up. Do you think it important to reread Lilac Girls first?
@Maribeth Yes. Definitely.
It stinks!
I just heard Martha speak here in Dallas; excellent presentation, loved Lilac Girls and this prequel,!
Very good sequel
@Ester it is actually a prequel to Lilac Girls.
On my list!
Reading it now! Very good?
Reading the Lilac Girl’s right now. very difficult subject however, I am loving the book
Greatbookp
Really disappointed ?
Yes. I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as Lilac Girls.
YES! ❤️. It is also the Barnes and Noble April Book Club Book. I’m looking toward to our discussion this Tuesday.?☕️?
@Sheri I hope to go to the B&N Book Club this Tuesday for Lost Roses. I have never been to one of their book clubs. What is it like? TIA!
listening to it now. Other than some fairly interesting insights into Caroline and her mother, not impressed!!
I have read them both, and they are very good, I really liked them
Not yet but it’s on my tbr list
