Talia Carner writes historical and literary fiction with a focus on social justice themes. Her debut, Puppet Child (2002), was followed by China Doll (2006) and Jerusalem Maiden (2011), each set in different cultural contexts. Hotel Moscow (2015) moved to Russia, while The Third Daughter (2019) dealt with historical trafficking.
The Boy with the Star Tattoo (2024) is her most recent novel. Carner’s books typically center on women facing difficult circumstances in specific historical or cultural settings, with each novel standing alone while sharing thematic concerns about justice and identity.
