We’re starting off the year early with Jennifer Coburn, author of “The Girls of the Glimmer Factory,” a heartfelt story of courage, where two women filmmakers use their talents to take their destinies and the lives of millions of innocents into their own hands.
Our conversation with Coburn will be Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, at 2 p.m. at the Roswell Library, 115 Norcross Street in Roswell. The event is free but registration is appreciated below.
Coburn’s other titles include “Cradles of the Reich,” another historical novel about the strength of women’s friendship and the connections that can be forged during even the most harrowing of times. She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir, “We’ll Always Have Paris,” as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally, Coburn has contributed to five literary anthologies, including “A Paris All Your Own.”
Book Review:
“’The Girls of The Glimmer Factory’ was well-written, well-researched and intriguing. I love books about World War II but I had never heard of The Glimmer Factory. I can’t wait to meet the author and learn more about this fascinating subject.” – Marilyn Baron, Member, Roswell Reads Committee
