Lost Roses: A Novel (Woolsey-Ferriday)

Product Information

Again, Martha Hall Kelly delves deep into the history and people of the time period. She only scratched the surface it seems with her first novel, The Lilac Girls, revealing the remarkable story of Caroline Ferriday. It should come as no surprise that this remarkable woman was reared by a lineage of courageous women. Lost Roses is based on the research and history of Caroline’s mother, Eliza Woolsey Mitchell, a staunch abolitionist and philanthropist in NYC. She advocated and assisted the “White Russian” émigrés who were former Russian aristocrats who lost everything when the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia 1918. A lovely and impressive follow-up to Lilac Girls, I’m looking forward to Martha Hall Kelly’s prequel to Lost Roses which is linked through Eliza’s mother, Caroline Carson Woolsey Mitchell, and her sister, Georgeanna, and takes place during the Civil War.
