Glamour against a wartime past

The Gabor sisters’ public image—built through screen appearances, gossip columns, and celebrity—forms one side of this historical novel; their family’s Jewish past and escape from Nazi-dominated Europe form the other. Karen Essex’s story connects that journey to the sisters’ later rise from obscurity to fame, setting celebrity culture against the history that remained less visible. The book’s scope reaches from wartime Europe to America, with the family’s private experience at its center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction connected to World War II and the Holocaust.
  • Readers curious about the Gabor sisters and the contrast between public celebrity and family history.
  • Readers seeking fiction about displacement, escape, and the path from obscurity to fame.

Book overview

Three Sisters. One War. A Harrowing Escape.

 

Before the Sexual Revolution, reality TV, and social media, there lived the Gabors, a family of beguiling glamour icons with a global following.

 

For decades, the gorgeous trio of Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda, with their Auntie Mame mother, dominated gossip columns, TV and movie screens, talk shows, and tabloids with their talent, clever quips, branded beauty products-and utter disregard for society's rules.

 

While we many remember their whipped blonde hair, jewelry and gowns, multiple marriages, and the word, 'dahlink, ' sprinkled like sugar into every sentence, few knew of this Jewish family's shocking secrets, painful pasts, and harrowing journey from Nazi-dominated Europe to America and from obscurity to celebrity.

 

Run, Darling is that untold story.
