«Unorthodox: Mi verdadera historia» is the autobiography of Deborah Feldman, published by Lumen in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish).
Deborah Feldman recounts her life in the ultra-Orthodox Satmar Jewish community of Williamsburg, where a strict code governed her language, clothing, and reading. Between faith and the desire for independence, she secretly reads Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott. An arranged marriage and motherhood push her to seek freedom for herself and her son.
Translation by Laura Martín de Dios and Laura Manero Jiménez. Published on July 16, 2020 in Lumen's Narrativa collection.
