Author Michelle Cameron takes us inside her historical novel, BEYOND THE GHETTO GATES. When French troops occupied the Italian port city of Ancona Italy in the 1790s, freeing the city’s Jews from a repressive ghetto, it unleashed a whirlwind of progressivism but also a brutal backlash as two very different cultures collided. Meet Mirelle, a young Jewish heroine, who must choose between her duty—an arranged marriage to a wealthy Jewish merchant—and her love for a dashing French Catholic soldier. Reading the book ahead of time is not necessary.
