"In The Third Daughter, Talia Carner ably illuminates a
little-known piece of history: the sex trafficking of young women
from Russia to South America in the late 19th century. Thoroughly
researched and vividly rendered, this is an important and
unforgettable story of exploitation and empowerment that will leave
you both shaken and inspired." -Pam Jenoff, New York Times
bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris The turn of the 20th
century finds fourteen-year-old Batya in the Russian countryside,
fleeing with her family endless pogroms. Desperate, her father
leaps at the opportunity to marry Batya to a worldly, wealthy
stranger who can guarantee his daughter an easy life and passage to
America. Feeling like a princess in a fairytale, Batya leaves her
old life behind as she is whisked away to a new world. But soon she
discovers that she's entered a waking nightmare. Her new "husband"
does indeed bring her to America: Buenos Aires, a vibrant, growing
city in which prostitution is not only legal but deeply embedded in
the culture. And now Batya is one of thousands of women tricked and
sold into a brothel. As the years pass, Batya forms deep bonds with
her "sisters" in the house as well as some men who are both kind
and cruel. Through it all, she holds onto one dream: to bring her
family to America, where they will be safe from the anti-Semitism
that plagues Russia. Just as Batya is becoming a known tango
dancer, she gets an unexpected but dangerous opportunity-to help
bring down the criminal network that has enslaved so many young
women and has been instrumental in developing Buenos Aires into a
major metropolis. A powerful story of finding courage in the face
of danger, and hope in the face of despair, The Third Daughter
brings to life a dark period of Jewish history and gives a voice to
victims whose truth deserves to finally be told.
