Description

The Third Daughter A Novel by Talia Carner is a powerful and poignant story about a young Jewish woman's journey through one of history's darkest periods. In 1914, Batya flees the Russian countryside with her family, seeking safety from endless pogroms. Her father arranges for her to marry a wealthy stranger, securing an easy life and passage to America. However, Batya soon discovers she has entered a waking nightmare. She is forced into prostitution in Buenos Aires, where she must navigate a complex web of relationships with her "sisters" in the brothel and some men who are both kind and cruel. Despite the dangers, Batya holds onto one dream: to bring her family to America, where they will be safe from anti-Semitism. As Batya becomes a known tango dancer, she is given an unexpected opportunity to help bring down the criminal network that has enslaved so many young women. This story brings to life a dark period of Jewish history and gives voice to victims whose truth deserves to be told.
