  • "Zwei Frauen zwischen Tradition und Rebellion - ein Plädoyer für Toleranz und Freiheit Als die kleine Mila nach einem Pogrom ihre Eltern verliert, wird sie von der strenggläubigen Familie Stern adoptiert. Zusammen mit der ältesten Tochter Atara wächst sie in der religiösen Gemeinschaft orthodoxer Juden auf. Atara genügt diese enge Welt nicht; Mila jedoch willigt in eine arrangierte Heirat ein. Doch als ihre Ehe kinderlos bleibt, trifft sie eine Entscheidung, an der viele Jahre später ihre Familie zu zerbrechen droht. Anouk Markovits folgt in ihrem hoch gelobten Roman den Spuren einer chassidischen Familie durch das 20. Jahrhundert. Gekonnt spannt sie den Bogen von Siebenbürgen über Paris bis ins heutige Brooklyn, ermöglicht einen Einblick in diese geschlossene Gemeinschaft und zeigt eindrücklich, wie Menschen an religiöser Engstirnigkeit zerbrechen können. Anouk Markovits wurde in Frankreich geboren, ihre Familie waren Satmar-Chassidim. Mit 19 Jahren verliess sie diese Welt, um einer arrangierten Heirat zu entgehen, und studierte Literatur und Architektur. Ihren ersten Roman schrieb sie auf Französisch; nun, 20 Jahre später, wechselte sie mit der Geschichte über Mila, Atara und Joseph, die sie vor dem Hintergrund ihrer eigenen Familiengeschichte erzählt, ins Englische. Anouk Markovits lebt in New York."

  • "A family is torn apart by fierce belief and private longing in this unprecedented journey deep inside the most insular Hasidic sect, the Satmar. Sweeping from the Central European countryside just before World War II to Paris to contemporary Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I Am Forbidden brings to life four generations of one Satmar family. Opening in 1939 Transylvania, five-year-old Josef witnesses the murder of his family by the Romanian Iron Guard and is rescued by a Gentile maid to be raised as her own son. Five years later, Josef rescues a young girl, Mila, after her parents are killed while running to meet the Rebbe they hoped would save them. Josef helps Mila reach Zalman Stern, a leader in the Satmar community, in whose home Mila is raised as a sister to Zalman's daughter, Atara. As the two girls mature, Mila's faith intensifies, while her beloved sister Atara discovers a world of books and learning that she cannot ignore. With the rise of communism in central Europe, the family moves to Paris, to the Marais, where Zalman tries to raise his children apart from the city in which they live. When the two girls come of age, Mila marries within the faith, while Atara continues to question fundamentalist doctrine. The different choices the two sisters makes force them apart until a dangerous secret threatens to banish them from the only community they've ever known. A beautifully crafted, emotionally gripping story of what happens when unwavering love, unyielding law, and centuries of tradition collide, I Am Forbidden announces the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted new voice and opens a startling window on a world long closed to most of us, until now."@en

  • "Comos todos los grupos humanos inaccesibles para la mayoría, las comunidades jasídicas suelen generar todo tipo de especulaciones y falsas impresiones. Esta conmovedora novela, que destaca por su descarnada autenticidad - la autora se crió en el seno de una familia jasídica satmer - abre por fin una ventana a este mundo opaco y misterioso. El relato arranca en la Europa Central anterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se prolonga hasta el Brooklyn de hoy, dibujando el inevitable conflicto entre un amor puro e inalterable y una rígida tradición centenaria. Sin sombra de valoraciones morales, el extraordinario talento narrativo de Anouk Markovits plasma con todo detalle la realidad cotidiana de una sociedad hermética, cuyas leyes inflexibles gobiernan incluso los aspectos más nimios de la vida de sus miembros. Mientras un terremoto político sacude Europa, el pequẽno Josef Lichtenstein es testigo del asesinato de su familia a manos de un guardia de hierro rumano. Salvado por la criada, que lo bautiza y lo hace pasar por hijo suyo, cinco años después él mismo salva a Mila, una niña judía que ha sufrido un trance similar. Así, Mila consigue llegar hasta Zalman Stern, líder de la comunidad jasídica satmer, en cuya casa crecerá, estrechamente unida a Atara, la primogénita de la familia. Pero una vez instaladas en París y alcanzada la mayoría de edad, el camino de las hermanas se bifurca. Si Atara cuestiona lo incuestionable y busca en los libros prohibidos verdades diferentes, Mila absorbe con convicción los estrictos preceptos religiosos que le inculcaron. Sin embargo, años más tarde, ya casada y viviendo en Nueva York, esa misma rigidez le empuja a tomar una decisión desesperada, que amenazará con destruir a su familia y expulsarla del único mundo que conoce."
