À propos de cet audio

 Now a Netflix original series!

Unorthodox is the bestselling memoir of a young Jewish woman’s escape from a religious sect, in the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape, featuring a new epilogue by the author.

As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.

Remarkable and fascinating, this “sensitive and memorable coming-of-age story” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) is one you won’t be able to put down. Femmes Judaïsme Mariage Moyen-Orient Biographie

I thought it would be the same as the Netflix series (which I loved!) but it was very different. The resilience of the author in such a stifling environment is truly inspiring. Loved it.

I didn't love the narrator at first, but she grew on me. I decided to listen after watching the amazing Netflix series, which left me wanting more of the story. I'm happy I did.

Hard to imagine more has not been published about this little secret down there in NYC.

Captivating but troubling story

I found this book profoundly touching. Being raised in a strict catholic upbringing, I remembered, as a child, my father and I crossing the street to avoid walking by a Protestant church. Being told that outside the Church, there is no salvation. My rebellion was so much easier by living in the secular world. My family and friends remained , even as my father felt he had failed his mission on earth. Her journey was life changing and a solitary adventure. This woman has guts ! This book is written in the rich language of someone who read many old books instead of magazines. I truly loved it from beginning to end.

I loved this book. I loved its audiobook version, too. I literally had a movie playing on my mind as I listened to every word. A beautifully written memoir from the perspective of a Hasidic Jewish woman, made even more vibrant by the excellent storytelling in its audiobook version.

Captivating!

this is a great audiobook, goes into detail into the life of a young hasidic Jewish woman and how she grew up. I grew up in a modern reform Jewish home, so it was interesting to hear about how extreme and different it is. great story. highly recommend.

picked it up after binge watching the Netflix show
