Fall 2022: The Opera Sisters

On the eve of a second world war, two unremarkable sisters will use their love of opera to attempt the daring rescue of dozens of Jewish refugees

Historical fiction, nominated for a Whitney Award

"Driven by their convictions and their passion for music, two English sisters provide aid to German Jewish families in Monson's kaleidoscopic historical novel. The story about moral courage in the face of risk stays warm and light. Ida's repartee with Louise is loving. In scenes together, they are delightful, and their impact on others is clear. Ordinary women find their inner strength, engaging in determined, clandestine actions to give others hope." -Foreword Reviews
