| WRJ Northeast Book Discussion with the author
Join us as we welcome author Felicia Grossman, who will be discussing her swoon-worthy romance Marry Me by Midnight. This steamy work of historical fiction puts a pre-Victorian London spin on the Cinderella story, as wealthy heiress Isabelle becomes acquainted with synagogue custodian Aaron and her entire outlook is changed. Discover how the author uses the tropes of historical romantic fiction to reveal the truths of how Jews and women struggled against the prejudices and politics that limited their rights. A light (and spicy) summer read that showcases a period in Jewish history we don't always see represented.
