Talia Carner

Formerly the publisher of Savvy Woman magazine and a lecturer at international women economic forums, novelist Talia Carner’s heart-wrenching suspense novels, PUPPET CHILD, CHINA DOLL and JERUSALEM MAIDEN and HOTEL MOSCOW have garnered rave reviews and awards. As each touches a social issue never explored before, they are often the choice of reading groups in the USA and abroad.

THE THIRD DAUGHTER, a novel about sex trafficking in Buenos Aires in the late 1800s, (HarperCollins 2019) was named Finalist by The Jewish Book Council (in the Book Club category.)

Talia Carner's 6th novel, THE BOY WITH THE STAR TATTOO, will be released in February 2024 by HarperCollins. It is an epic historical novel weaving two yet-untold events set in France, the first set in 1946 in the aftermath of the Holocaust, when agents from Eretz Israel roamed the European countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans (Youth Aliya). The second is set in 1969, about the daring escape of the boats of Cherbourg, in Normandy, which were commissioned and paid for by Israel but whose delivery was blocked by a French arms embargo.

Sharon, the assistant to an Israeli naval officer stationed Cherbourg, is set to unravel the mystery of his journey from a French village to Israel. She is unprepared for the moral dilemma she will face upon solving the mystery.

Talia Carner's addictions include chocolate, ballet, hats—and social justice.
