About this listen
LA HISTORIA CONTADA POR SU PROTAGONISTA:
EL MEMOIR ACLAMADO POR LA CRÍTICA QUE VA MÁS ALLÁ DE LA SERIE,
NOMINADO A LOS PREMIOS CINEMATOGRÁFICOS DE LA FERIA DE FRANKFURT
«Millones de personas confinadas en todo el mundo se han dejado fascinar estos días por Unorthodox, [...] un mundo tan exótico como real.» Ana Carbajosa, El País
«Uno de esos libros que no puedes soltar.» Joan Rivers, The New York Post
Como miembro de los satmar, una comunidad de judíos ultraortodoxos de Williamsburg (Brooklyn, Nueva York), Deborah Feldman crece bajo un estricto código de normas que rige desde su idioma -el yiddish- o su indumentaria hasta sus lecturas y las personas con las que se le permite relacionarse. Siendo adolescente, intuye que puede existir una forma de vida alternativa entre los rascacielos de Manhattan, y se debate entre la responsabilidad de ser una buena judía jasídica y sus anhelos de independencia, como los que anidan en las protagonistas de las novelas de Jane Austen o Louisa May Alcott que lee a escondidas de su familia. Pero pronto se ve atrapada en un matrimonio concertado que resulta frustrante, sexual y emocionalmente. Todo cambia cuando, a los diecinueve años, da a luz a su hijo y comprende que, a pesar de todos los obstáculos, ha de encontrar para ambos un camino hacia la libertad.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

La adopción de pautas alimentarias que dejan total o parcialmente de lado los productos de origen animal es considerada por la población, en ocasiones, una mera opción ideológica, carente de fundamento científico y hasta perniciosa para la salud. De entre dichas pautas, conocidas como «dietas basadas en plantas» (plant-based diets), destacan el vegetarianismo y el veganismo.

When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help.

When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Reveladora, intrigante y singular
Me gustó y me sorprendió la historia que narra esta mujer, me parece muy valiente al contar su historia sin duda, fuerte y escandalosa. Me parece increíble la interpretación de las religiones, el impacto te tiene en las vidas de seres humanos. Dictaminando así su futuro y estrechando sus posibilidades.
