The concluding luncheon for our Barbara Eisenberg Literary Luncheon Series is with best-selling author Talia Carner who will be presenting about her latest historical novel – The Boy With the Star Tattoo on Wednesday, April 9 at 12:20 pm.

This is an epic historical novel of ingenuity and courage, of love and loss, spanning postwar France when Israeli agents roamed the countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans—to the 1969 daring escape of the Israeli boats of Cherbourg.

Nov­el­ist Talia Carn­er has authored six his­tor­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal sus­pense nov­els that shed light on social indig­ni­ties and unex­plored his­tor­i­cal events. Both The Boy With The Star Tat­too and The Third Daugh­ter were named Final­ists by the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil in the Book Club Cat­e­gories. For­mer­ly the pub­lish­er of Savvy Woman mag­a­zine and a lec­tur­er at inter­na­tion­al women’s eco­nom­ic forums, Carn­er turned from trail­blaz­ing projects cen­tered on women’s issues to fight­ing for Israel’s image. Born in Israel, she lives in New York and Florida.
