«La Répudiée» is the novel by Eliette Abécassis published by Hachette in paperback (124 pages, in French).
Rachel, from the traditionalist neighbourhood of Méa Shéarim in Jerusalem, marries Nathan and accepts her role as a pious woman. The marriage has no children and Hasidic law allows the husband to repudiate his barren wife after ten years. The novel shows how Rachel silently faces a verdict she does not believe she deserves.
Published in 2002, it belongs to the Ldp Littérature collection and inspired the film 'Kaddosh' by Amos Gitaï.
A work for readers of intimate narrative interested in tradition, faith and marital conflicts.
Éliette Abécassis is a French writer of Moroccan-Jewish descent. She is a professor of philosophy at the University of Caen Normandy.
