Zusatztext

<i>I Am Forbidden</i>is a powerful portrayal of family, faith and history which sweeps the reader across continents and generations, from pre-war Transylvania to present-day New York, via Paris and England. Immersive, beautiful, moving, it explores in devastating detail what happens when unwavering love, unyielding law and centuries of tradition collide.

Autorenportrait

<b>Anouk Markovits</b>grew up in France, in an ultra-orthodox Satmar home. She attended a religious seminary in England instead of high school. She left home at the age of nineteen to avoid an arranged marriage. Markovits is the author of<i>I Am Forbidden</i>, which the New York Times described as an elegant, enthralling novel and which the Sunday Telegraph of London praised for luminously beautiful prose. The book was selected by Random House to re-launch its Hogarth imprint, originally founded in 1917 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Translations of<i>I Am Forbidden</i>are forthcoming in a dozen countries. Markovitss first novel, Pur Coton, written in French, was published by Gallimard.<b></b>
