Women on the Move

Lisa Barr

Secrets, lies and a burning desire for justice anchor bestselling author Lisa Barr’s gripping new novel, Goddess of Warsaw, a page-turning journey from the misery of Nazi predations to the glamour of Hollywood.

 

For decades, screen goddess Lena Browning has hidden the truth about her youth as Bina Blonski, former ghetto spy, smuggler and resistance fighter. But when her hard-won stardom is threatened by someone from the past, she is gripped by a hunger for revenge and wields her power and fame as a movie star to protect herself, her career and those she’s loved, then and now.

 

Lisa Barr is the author of three prior novels, and as a journalist worked at the Jerusalem Post and the Chicago Sun-Times, even covering the famous “handshake” between the late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat and President Bill Clinton at the White House.  She is a founding member of Artists Against Antisemitism.
