An Evening with Author Talia Carner<br />
MONDAY, JUNE 13 <br />
Meet the Author and Special Reading<br />
Sisterhood Book Club<br />
MONDAY, JUNE 6 AT 7:30 PM <br />
Rachel Sult will be reviewing To The Lighthouse by Virginia<br />
Woolf. She describes the book as follows: “A classic work of<br />
fiction, and not a long book either—about 100 pages or so—<br />
about a family that summers on the coast with an incredible<br />
woven fabric of meaning and relating; especially with respect<br />
to men and women and the human soul. Truly a work of art.”<br />
At the home of Sheila Schertzer. Call Louise at 718-327-3536<br />
for details.<br />
We’ll begin with a “Meet the Author” Dinner at 6 pm at the<br />
home of <strong>Laurie</strong> Stone <strong>Brofsky</strong>. $36 prepaid reservations by<br />
June 1 (space is limited). RSVP to Barbara Kaplan at 295-5224<br />
or barbkrd@optonline.net.<br />
The evening continues with a program and book signing at<br />
7:45 pm at HERJC. Talia will discuss her book and “Princess<br />
or Prisoner.” Jerusalem Maiden has been described as The Red Tent meets A Thousand<br />
Splendid Suns. Inspired by her 10-generation family roots in Jerusalem and her grandmother’s<br />
untapped artistic genius, Talia Carner takes the audience on a fascinating<br />
journey into the world of ultra-Orthodox <strong>Jewish</strong> women in the Holy Land toward the<br />
end of the Ottoman rule in the early 1900s. She discusses her research into the littledocumented<br />
lives of twelve-year old girls entrusted with the mission of hastening the<br />
messiah’s arrival (No charge; open to the community).<br />
