The Daughters of Yalta by Katz

THE DAUGHTERS OF YALTA by Catherine Grace Katz is based on actual events surrounding the WWII conference at Yalta.  Katz cleverly weaves historical happenings around the actions and background of three young women: Sarah Churchill, Anna Roosevelt, and Kathleen Lanier Harriman Mortimer. Each, of course, has a very famous father and the text also explores those relationships as well as social mores and expectations of the time.  It is a fascinating glimpse “behind the scenes” at a significant international conference between leaders at the end of WWII as well as the personal lives of those involved. THE DAUGHTERS OF YALTA received starred reviews from Kirkus and Publishers’ Weekly.  You, too, can “meet” the author virtually on Thursday, Feb. 18 at a program sponsored by The Wilmette Public Library and The Bookstall.
