«La repudiada» is the novel by Eliette Abécassis, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (141 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Meah Shearim, the Orthodox Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, it tells the story of a woman repudiated by her husband for failing to give him a son. The author draws an intimate portrait of submission to a claustrophobic fundamentalism and of resignation before divine law; the brevity of the novel heightens its dramatic force and its testimony on religious fanaticism.
The original title of the work is «La Répudiée»; the Spanish translation is by Sacra Comorera.
A short novel for readers of literary fiction interested in stories about religious pressure and the female condition.
Éliette Abécassis is a French writer of Moroccan-Jewish descent. She is a professor of philosophy at the University of Caen Normandy.
