Unorthodox By Deborah Feldman

Unorthodox By Deborah Feldman free pdf download. Unorthodox is an autobiographical account by Deborah Feldman. The book chronicles her experiences growing up in a highly conservative Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York. As part of the rigidly orthodox Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Feldman was raised under a code of stringently enforced traditions.

It was her secret interactions with the strong female characters in the works of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott that inspired her to envision a different life. Trapped in a dysfunctional marriage with a virtual stranger during her teenage years, the conflict between Feldman’s aspirations and her obligations as a dutiful Satmar girl escalated until she became a mother at nineteen. She realized then that she had to break free for her own sake and for her son’s. The book was first published on February 14, 2012.
