Sonia Taitz

Sonia Taitz's acclaimed novel, IN THE KING'S ARMS, is now in its SECOND PRINTING!

The The New York Times Book Review calls In the King's Arms "beguiling ...Taitz zigzags among her culturally disparate characters, zooming in on their foibles with elegance and astringency."

"A witty, literate, and heartfelt story, filled with engaging characters and relationships,"
JEWISH BOOK WORLD, the magazine of the Jewish Book Council

"In the PROVINCE of GIFTED POETS, PLAYWRIGHTS and NOVELISTS," ForeWord Reviews

SONIA TAITZ has been featured in The NY Times, The NY Observer, O: The Oprah Magazine, Nightline, and a PBS special on love. She has made repeated appearances on NBC's TODAY show, CNN and NPR.

IN THE KING'S ARMS, her first novel, was hailed as "provocative, lyrical and profound" (Caroline Leavitt, NYT Best-Selling author and critic). It tells the story of a daughter of Holocaust survivors who goes to Oxford, where she falls in love with the black sheep of an anti-Semitic family. Jesse Kornbluth favorably compared SONIA TAITZ's wit and style to those of Martin Amis and Philip Roth, and soundly concluded: "Move over, Evelyn Waugh."

SONIA TAITZ is also the author of MOTHERING HEIGHTS: published by William Morrow (hardcover) and Berkley (paperback). In 2011, O: The Oprah Magazine listed SONIA TAITZ as one of the "20 Best Famous Writers" on motherhood.

Ms. Taitz earned a J.D. from Yale, and served as a Law Guardian for foster children and an ER advocate for assaulted women. She holds an M.Phil. in English Literature from Oxford, and won its Lord Bullock Prize for Writing. Her plays have been performed at the Oxford Playhouse, the National Theatre (in D.C.), NY's Primary Stages, Circle Repertory, and the Obie Award-winning Ensemble Studio Theatre, where she served as Writer-in-Residence.

Her next book will be THE WATCHMAKER'S DAUGHTER, a memoir which has won early praise from, among others, Pulitzer, Tony, and Academy Award-winner John Patrick Shanley (DOUBT), author Joshua Halberstam (A SEAT AT THE TABLE), Mark Whitaker, former Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek, current Managing Editor at CNN, and author of the memoir MY LONG JOURNEY HOME, and James Wolcott, cultural critic for Vanity Fair, and author of the memoir LUCKING OUT.
