Qesher Book Club: ‘The Gallery of Beauties’
Hosted By: Qesher
Qesher Book Club will host a discussion on “The Gallery of Beauties,” a historical novel set in Venice, 1612, where a courtesan and a Talmudic scholar form an unexpected relationship after posing for a “Gallery of Beauties.” The book was nominated for an Agatha for Best First Novel and a Silver Falchion for Best Historical Novel, and it has two sequels: “The Courtesan’s Secret,” about a “converso” courtesan learning about Jewish life in the Venice Ghetto, and “The Courtesan’s Pirate,” which follows Jews seeking religious freedom in the New World.
The event listed here is hosted by a third party. My Jewish Learning/70 Faces Media is not responsible for its content or for errors in the listing.
