The Boy with the Star Tattoo is an epic historical novel of ingenuity and courage, of love and loss, weaving two yet untold events set in France. The first is set in 1946 in the aftermath of the Holocaust, when agents from Eretz Israel roamed the European countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans (Youth Aliyah). The second covers the 1969 daring escape of the boats of Cherbourg, in Normandy- five boats that had been 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 in Cherbourg, is set to unravel the mystery of his journey from a French village to Israel. As she traces it to the tragedy of a mother who lost her baby in the mayhem of war, she is unprepared for the moral dilemma she must face upon solving the puzzle.
Israeli-born Talia Carner is an award-winning author of six historical and psychological suspense novels that shed light on social indignities and unexplored historical events. Formerly the publisher of Savvy Woman magazine and a lecturer at international women’s economic forums, this trailblazer of projects centered on women’s issues has turned her energies to fighting for Israel. She lives in New York and Florida.
