The Ravensbruk concentration camp in WWII and Operation Paperclip, a US intelligence program after the war, are the historical background for this book. Given the depicted history of Josie Anderson and Arlette LaRue, The Golden Doves by Martha Hall Kelly should be moving and emotional. Unfortunately, this book does not compel the way that Lilac Girls did. Given that it is the same author and the same historical context, the comparison is unescapable throughout the book.
