Description
Batsheva Ha-Levi's life is turned upside down when her father makes a secret vow that forces her to marry a man she hardly knows and move to Jerusalem. This poignant novel takes readers on a journey into the hidden world of women in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where tradition and modernity collide. As Batsheva navigates this unfamiliar world, she must reconcile her own desires with her ancestral obligations and choose between three men who vie for her love and loyalty. With poignancy and insight, Naomi Ragen explores themes of identity, freedom, and the complexities of cultural heritage. A groundbreaking and unforgettable tale, Jephte's Daughter is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
