Cancelled: Sacrifice Book Launch

30 March, 2023 @ 1.00 pm - 2.30 pm

Join us at the Jewish Museum of London for the launch of Christine Jordan’s latest book Sacrifice, the first instalment in her Hebraica trilogy, published by Bloodhound Books.

Blending fact with fiction, Sacrifice follows the vicissitudes of Moses le Riche’s family and his community in 12th- century England.

Zev the butcher’s son is in love with Arlette, the niece of a wealthy money lender, but she is promised to someone else. On the day of her betrothal the body of a young Christian boy, showing signs of ritual crucifixion, is discovered. The Jewish community are blamed. Christians are pitted against Jews and for Arlette, this has terrible consequences for her marriage, her honour and her life.

This event gives you the opportunity to hear directly from Christine and have your questions answered about her work and the research undertaken for this historical fiction classic.

Join us for an exclusive evening and meet the author who will be doing a live Q and A session and book signing.

An event not to be missed!

Tickets from £5

Please note: Your ticket includes access to the museum’s galleries for the duration of the event.
