The turn of the 20th century finds fourteen-year-old Batya in the Russian countryside, fleeing with her family endless pogroms. Desperate, her father leaps at the opportunity to marry Batya to a worldly, wealthy stranger who can guarantee his daughter an easy life and passage to America. Feeling like a princess in a fairytale, Batya leaves her old life behind as she is whisked away to a new world. But soon she discovers that she's entered a waking nightmare. Her new 'husband' does indeed bring her to America: Buenos Aires, a vibrant, growing city in which prostitution is not only legal but deeply embedded in the culture. And now Batya is one of thousands of women tricked and sold into a brothel. As the years pass, Batya forms deep bonds with her 'sisters' in the house as well as some men who are both kind and cruel. Through it all, she holds onto one dream: to bring her family to America, where they will be safe from the anti-Semitism that plagues Russia. Just as Batya is becoming a known tango dancer, she gets an unexpected but dangerous opportunity-to help bring down the criminal network that has enslaved so many young women and has been instrumental in developing Buenos Aires into a major metropolis. A powerful story of finding courage in the face of danger, and hope in the face of despair, The Third Daughter brings to life a dark period of Jewish history and gives a voice to victims whose truth deserves to finally be told.… (altro)

This intense and disturbing story is based on true events involving thousands of young Jewish women trafficked into prostitution at the turn of the 20th century. Batya leaves her family and Russian home behind, believing she'll be married to a wealthy respected Jewish leader who will build her a prosperous new life in South America. But instead, she arrives in Buenos Aires where she is sold into a brothel. ( )

The Third Daughter
By Talia Carner
2020
Reviewed by Angie Mangino
Rating: 5 stars

It’s 1889 in Russia.

“Blood pounded in Batya’s temples with the effort of pushing the cart. On the rutted road, the mud-crusted wooden wheels clanked with each turn, and the axles screeched in protest of the heavy load.”

With her mother, father, and younger sister 14-year-old Batya set out to who knows where, Jews driven out of their home in Russia.

Real events in a tragic history inspired the author to share the fictional story of one woman. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century over 150,000 women were lured from Eastern Europe into unknown to them prostitution in South America.

Batya’s family looked to the distinguished Reb Moskowitz as a way to a better life for her. Instead he led her into a hell that was unimaginable to any of them.

The author masterfully pulls readers into the story and keeps them there throughout this heartfelt read until the conclusion. As a bonus at the end there is a glossary, historical background of the book, and a Reading Group guide to further enhance the fictional story with the historical facts.

“In The Third Daughter, Talia Carner ably illuminates a little-known piece of history: the sex trafficking of young women from Russia to South America in the late 19th century. Thoroughly researched and vividly rendered, this is an important and unforgettable story of exploitation and empowerment that will leave you both shaken and inspired.”

It took me a while to start this book as the topic seemed pretty depressing - historical fiction about slavery and prostitution in Argentina as well as extreme poverty in Eastern Europe. Once I got started though, I couldn't put it down. I was completely unaware of this part of history, but I loved learning about it (as well as googling parts of the book to find out more). Batya's story was hearbreaking but riveting. I loved cheering for her - she was a fighter! I highly recommend this book and thank the publishers for giving me a copy to review through Library Thing Early Reviewers. ( )

I am a procurer. I provide the public with merchandise that everyone knows but no one speaks of. My business, if you want to know, is everywhere, in the entire world: Paris, London, Budapest, Boston. My main office, though, is in Buenos Aires . . . . I have an eye for the goods. One glance and I can tell you how much it's worth and how far it should move. In my business, though, a sharp eye alone is not enough. One also needs a keen nose, a sniff that will tell you from a mile away what kind of a dog is buried there. . . . What do I deal in? Ha, ha! Not in Hanukkah candles, my friend, not in Hanukkah candles!

    --Sholem Aleichem, "The Man from Buenos Aires," 1909
"No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark."

"I do not know where I am going, where I have come from is disappearing. . . . 
I am unwelcome, and my body is burning with shame of not belonging."

            ---Warsan Shire
The night gleams at me in the dark,
gray and cold;
Terrifying corpse-shadows
Fill up my void soul.

Fearful of death, I look all around
For a glimmer, a spark somewhere!
I stare and, creeping, crawl
Ever nearer to the door.

---Yiddish poem by Zelda Knizhnik, 1900
When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.

--Exodus 21:2
