Zibby interviews author Talia Carner about THE BOY WITH THE STAR TATTOO, a spellbinding and impeccably researched historical novel of ingenuity and courage, love and loss, spanning postwar France when Israeli agents roamed the countryside to rescue hidden Jewish orphans—to the 1969 escape of the Israeli naval boats of Cherbourg, France. Talia describes her writing process and inspiration for this novel, including a French road sign and interviews with Israeli Navy officers. She also talks about the antisemitic attacks on her work, her focus on moral dilemmas, and the support she’s received from the Jewish community amid these challenges.
