The Gown is about two embroiderers chosen to adorn Princess Elizabeth’s wedding gown in 1947. One is a working class English girl, the other a Jewish French emigree who survived the Nazis.
Our Darkest Night tells the story of a young woman in Italy, Nina Mazin. To survive the Holocaust, Nina must pose as a Christian farmer’s wife. Inspired by true events, and based on stories passed down through Jennifer’s husband’s family, this unforgettable novel evokes the most perilous days of World War II.
Join us as two old friends chat about life, work, writing history and why Jennifer has chosen to write about Jewish subjects.
