In France, 1940, a young boy killed Hitler with a single shot. This is how this story begins.
A Jewish, feminist women's fiction with a hint of magical realism, this story, which was partly inspired by the Russian play, 'The Dybbuk', will sure awaken the fire in your womb and the hidden passions you have been yearning for.
If you loved 'Unorthodox' you will no doubt fall in love with this story.
Alma, a young married Hasidic Jewish girl who lives in a French town called Roshel, does not seem to be aware of just how much freedom she needs. In a world where women feel as though they must find a man to complete themselves, haunted by the ghosts of a past that is not even hers, she takes a terrifying, and harrowing path to self-discovery and finds her way to the wild woman that existed dormant in her, with the help of a mysterious, lustful man who calls himself "The Devil," She finds her way to Barcelona, where she meets a group of curious gypsy people who will help her find her way out of the invisible cage in which she lives, and surrender to the fire and passion that fills her womb.
Alma falls in love and lust, but she realizes that she cannot belong to any man after she discovers the real truth of the past. That she already belongs to a ghost that will haunt to claim her forever.
She was promised. And that promise cannot be broken.
A story of a bond stronger than time, war and death, of a boy who destroys a world of dark men and the path a young woman must take to break the walls of a limiting, religious world.
Where fire once burned her people, a new fire in her womb now leads her to create a new life.
A simple girl became one of the strongest woman, named Jules. But that costed her far more than anyone's expectation, losing what she held preciously. Pain become a part of her daily life at the early age of 17. And she lived with it for far too long.
Unable to take it and trying to move forward to change, to live a normal life, she leaves her world behind and starts anew at the age of 33. But when she finds the one person who she genuinely cares about, her past comes back to haunt her, to take her back into the familiar but painful world of secrets, a world she was made for.
Sebastian is a normal man with a normal life who finds himself attracted to Jules at their very first meeting. Slowly, but surely, falling in love with her. But he quickly learns that she is not what she seems to be. A bag of lies and burden of past on her shoulders all the time.
While she cannot avoid going back, Jules doesn't want to lose the person she has grown to care. But finding out about her past filled with lies and secrets, will they accept her? Will they give her a chance, to remain close to her? Will they believe her words, or what they see? Or will the past haunt her, chase her, forever?
