"Lost Roses" by Martha Hall Kelly is Really Good!

Lost Roses by Martha Hall Kelly is a work of historical fiction around 1914.  The first World War is just about to start and also the Russian Revolution is going on now!  The three main characters in this book are women!  Sofya, a member of the Tsar family; Eliza, a very close friend of Sofya who helps "white Russians" as they try to escape the Revolution in their homeland; and Varinka is brought up to help the Tsar family.

I also loved her other book, Lilac Girls!  When I heard that she was writing a second book, I knew I had to get it and am glad I did!  Plenty of action in this book keeps it going!  When all the women come together at the end of this book is very good!  Her next book is on the Civil War and I look forward to reading that one too!

Teaser from page 72:  Mamka's fingers trembled as she took the next card from the pack and placed it on the shadowed end of her plank.  "The next card is most important, so heed it well."
