Readers of WWII historical fiction might like this harrowing search for a Nazi doctor. Recommending The Golden Dovesįans of Lilac Girls and Martha Hall Kelly will appreciate The Golden Doves. evil, betrayal, brave women, and justice. Intense themes include survival, trust, endurance, good vs. The methods include help from sympathetic citizens, the Vatican, and Operation Paperclip (U.S.). Of interest in The Golden Doves is how the Nazis escaped after World War II. One of the reasons that histfic is my favorite genre is because of the historical details. A web of lies, dark secrets, and danger lurk around every corner. If you enjoy a side of mystery/thriller with your hisfic, you might enjoy The Golden Doves. Kelly is a compelling storyteller and her characters are complex and complicated. In the writing of The Golden Doves, Martha Hall Kelly extends the reputation she’s earned for well-researched and well-written stories.
The Golden Doves caused me to think of two possible companion reads: Lilac Girls for its concentration camp content and The German Wife for its details about Operation Paper Clip. Danger abounds in their espionage work during the war years and in their current pursuit of justice. A decade later, their paths cross again as Josie hunts down a fugitive doctor and Arlette looks for her long-lost son.
Eventually, they were arrested and taken to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp. All opinions are my own.ĭuring WWII, Josie and Arlette worked with the French Resistance and earned a reputation as the Golden Doves.
