| Summary |
"Perele, a young Jewish woman, was raised in an extreme Ultra-orthodox society. When she turns eighteen and her parents have a hard time finding a match for her, she is thrown into the arms of a cold and violent man, who makes her life unbearable. A forbidden chance encounter with a man and the feelings that ensue, make her begin to question everything she has ever known – and even consider that maybe, she does not have to choose this life that has been thrust upon her. But she knows that once she makes a drastic decision, there will be no way back into the arms of the Jewish community. Immodest tells the story of a courageous young woman who chooses to obey the commandments of her heart and not give up, despite the huge price she is forced to pay."-- Amazon.com. |
