REGISTER
The Women of WHC Literary Club dives into the world of historical fiction with Michelle Cameron’s latest, Napoleon’s Mirage, the sequel to Beyond the Ghetto Gates.
More than a year has elapsed since Napoleon Bonaparte freed Italy’s Jews from their repressive ghetto. The ghetto gates were destroyed and Ancona’s Jewish community liberated by Napoleon’s troops. Yet instead of feeling free, Mirelle is ostracized – by the community, her best friend, even her mother – and labeled a “ruined woman.” As her efforts to nurture her family’s legacy are thwarted, she realizes she might have lost her last chance at love. Meanwhile Daniel, now a lieutenant in the French army, along with Christophe, the man responsible for Mirelle’s disgrace, set sail to an unknown destination with General Bonaparte’s forces. Napoleon and his men face a harsh and unforgiving landscape and new, implacable enemies, and Daniel’s faith and loyalty to the commander he once worshipped is put to the test.
Napoleon’s Mirage is a New York Times bestseller, which the paper called “an absolute triumph.”
