Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. As exotic as the Amish seem to modern Americans, so ancient Hassidic sects appear to most contemporary Jews. Now author Naomi Ragen weaves the old with the new in a rich tapestry of conflicting cultures and passions that combines the storytelling grace and grandeur of Colleen McCullough and Belva Plain. This book is the story of Batsheva Ha-Levi, a beautiful young woman born into a religious, warmly affectionate family. The pampered daughter of a wealthy Jewish businessman, Batsheva grows up in the posh suburbs of Los Angeles. Then, on her 18th birthday, a secret vow made by her father years before shatters her life of shopping on Rodeo Drive, giggling with school friends, making college plans, and dreaming about the perfect young man to love. Suddenly, unexpectedly, she is chosen to become the bride of a handsome, Hassidic scholar. Through a traditional, arranged marriage in the golden city of Jerusalem, she is to fulfill a generation-old promise. On her wedding day she enters a strange and foreign world, one steeped in tradition, surrounded by myth, and spirited by devotion, one she tries to welcome into her heart. But, despite the magical allure of her new land, Batsheva is soon shocked at the life she is expected to live. Shackled by ancient rules and imprisoned in a marriage laced with growing hostility and cruelty, she makes a bold decision--and a daring escape. Her desperate flight to freedom will take her far from anything she has ever known from a sheltered, pious existence to the bustling streets of London and the sophisticated sexuality of the British nobility. It will lead her into a complex and passionate love affair and a turbulent, personal struggle to reconcile the demands of her faith with her need to live in the modern world. And she will have to choose between the two men who want her-- and in a battle for her body, her soul, and her love. A remarkable journey into the hidden and mysterious world of a religious sect, and a moving story of family, faith, and ultimately of forgiveness, this book marks the triumphant debut of both a novelist of extraordinary talent and a heroine of determination and depth who will haunt you long after the last page is turned.…
