Libby Cone
I am a radiologist who was bored with work, and embarked on a ten-year odyssey to get an MA in Jewish Studies. My thesis, now the novel War on the Margins, is about the Holocaust playing out in microcosm on the Channel Island of Jersey, which was occupied by German soldiers and Nazi functionaries for the duration of World War II. I stumbled on this topic while looking for the Isle of Man, because I love cats and wanted to learn more about the Manx breed. As a result of my research I am also now a big fan of the photography of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, two of the real-life islanders in my book, and I look forward to my next trip to Jersey.
