• The Diary of Anne Frank is the most read book in the English-speaking world other than the Bible. An Address in Amsterdam is set in the same place and time, with heroine who is equally strong, but old enough (18 as opposed to 11) to make her own choices and take action against the Nazis. • Most fiction buyers are women—55% of women read a book in 2012—and women look for powerful heroines who make complex choices and address major obstacles courageously and creatively. • Fiction on Jewish themes is promoted actively by the Jewish Book Council, which has a highly active website, book club resources, book reviews in its quarterly journal, and weekly recommendations on its extensive e-mail list. An author tour network spans North America with more than 100 organizations participating. Seven million Jewish people live in the US today. • Holocaust-era fiction with a strong female protagonist has a strong readership, as the success of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See, Sarah’s Key, and The Book Thief attests. • People in the 18-29 age group of Rachel Klein, the book’s heroine, buy more books than any others. • Amsterdam is a setting that intrigues a broad readership. New York Times bestseller The Miniaturist is set in Amsterdam in the 1600s, as is Nina Siegal’s The Anatomy Lesson and part of Elizabeth Gilbert’s The Signature of All Things.
