A historical fiction novel, The Whisper Sister, is set during Prohibition era, New York from 1920 through 1932. Whereas depictions of this time period are sometimes limited to the Jazz Age and flappers, Brown gives readers a glimpse into the dangers and thrills of speakeasies through the eyes of daring and brave Jewish bar owner Minnie – tracing one immigrant family’s fortunes and a young girl’s journey from the schoolyard to the speakeasy.
Jennifer S. Brown’s debut novel, Modern Girls, was a USA Today bestseller, a Massachusetts Book Award “Must Read,” and a 2016 Goodreads Choice semifinalist for Historical Fiction. Her second historical novel, The Whisper Sister, takes place in the time of Prohibition.
