The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee is proud to present Part Two of the 2011-2012 Jewish Book Festival!

Fiction Panel & Luncheon with Talia Carner, Ellen Feldman and Nadia Kalman

Talia Carner’s Jerusalem Maiden is described as The Red Tent meets A Thousand Splendid Suns: in 1911, in ultra-orthodox Jerusalem under the backward Ottoman rule, a young woman sets out to challenge G-d. Israeli-born Carner’s award-winning essays and stories have appeared in numerous literary publications and anthologies.

Ellen Feldman’s Next To Love follows the lives of three young women and their men during the years of WWII and beyond, beginning when the men ship out, and ending a generation later, when their children are on the cusp of adulthood. Feldman is a 2009 Guggenheim Fellow and has lectured extensively around the country and in Germany and England.

The Cosmopolitans, by Nadia Kalman, tells the story of the Molochniks - Russian-Jewish immigrants in suburban Connecticut. Daughters wed, houses flood, cultures clash … and the past has a way of emerging at the most inconvenient moments. Ms. Kalman recently won the 2011 Moment Magazine Emerging Writers Award for Fiction.

The authors will sign their book after the lecture. Books will be available for sale courtesy of Circle Books.

Cost: Tickets start at $36. Reservations required.
