Éxodo

THE STORY CONTINUES
The protagonist of Unorthodox returns to tell the next phase of her life: a revealing journey inward and outward

"As fascinating as Unorthodox. [...] Beautifully written, it addresses some of the deepest human emotions. [...] A magnificent novel, [...] a captivating memoir."
David Azzolina, Library Journal

"Millions of people [...] around the world have been fascinated these days by Unorthodox, [...] a world as exotic as it is real."
Ana Carbajosa, El País

At just twenty-three years old, Deborah Feldman took her son and her few possessions, and left behind the Satmar Hasidic community of Williamsburg (New York) where she had grown up, determined to forge a better life away from the oppression and isolation of her ultra-Orthodox Jewish upbringing. From that experience, she wrote Unorthodox, her first memoir, which was acclaimed by critics and readers, and adapted into a successful television series. Once out of that bubble, Deborah finds herself alone in a hostile world where she struggles to build a future for her son. Her displacement, spiritual emptiness, and the need to forge an identity lead her to search for her roots, first in the United States and then in Europe, determined to find out how her grandmother lived during the Holocaust.

Exodus is a deeply moving inquiry into memory and how our origins can restore our sense of belonging and help us discover who we are.

Reviews:
"A complete reconciliation with memory."
Marta Moleón, La Razón

"Feldman has the powerful gift of words: it is important that authors like her exist to denounce what is happening and change the world. [...] Exodus is a masterful, extraordinary work."
Marta Fernández

"A kind of second part [that] delves into [Feldman's] identity as a woman, writer, and Jew. [...] A deeply moving inquiry into memory, a word that can restore our sense of belonging and help us discover who we really are."
Susana Santaolalla, El Ojo Crítico (RTVE)

"A moving inquiry into memory and how our origins can restore our sense of belonging and help us discover who we are."
María Serrano, El Debate

"Exodus immerses the reader in what happened [and] takes them by the hand on that inner journey to seek Deborah's identity and her family's roots."
EFE

"The perfect continuation, which delves into what inspired Feldman's initial decision. [...] The author also reflects on what it means to be Jewish and to have a homeland. Like Unorthodox, it is a beautifully written meditation on the very essence of community."
Bitch Magazine

"Exodus is the story of a young woman searching for herself. [...] Deborah in Hebrew means 'woman who speaks'. We love that this writer has found her voice."
Chicago Public Library

"Captivating, entertaining, and enlightening. [...] A fascinating account."
Kirkus Reviews

"Feldman's journey is eminently Jewish, but the painful need to find a welcoming community and a sense of individuality is something many readers will identify with. [...] A more mature and increasingly eloquent style."
