The Covered Wife

De: Lisa Emanuel

Narrado por: Florette Cohen

Sarah is a smart young lawyer living in Bondi when she falls head over heels. Daniel is handsome, passionate and is part of the kind of large, chaotically loving family Sarah longed for as an only child.

When Daniel introduces her to a charismatic young couple, rabbi Menachem Lev and his wife, Chani, despite herself, Sarah is drawn in by the vibrant community at the beachside synagogue. By the time the couple move to the Jamison Valley, where Menachem and Chani have established a community of believers, Sarah can’t imagine life without the joy, purpose and love she’s discovered.

Four years on, youthful passion has given way to something darker. The community will celebrate its first wedding, between the beautiful convert, Avital, and a much older divorcee, but no one seems to be able to give a clear explanation of where Rebecca, his wife, has gone. In the lead up to the wedding, a series of terrifying truths emerges that rock Sarah’s world and cause her to question everything - her faith, her marriage and her future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Covered Wife is spellbinding - a magnificent literary debut that reads like a thriller, it speaks directly to the isolating nature of modern life, and our yearning for connection." (Lex Hirst, publisher at Pantera Press)

Great story. Terrible ending.

I was fascinated from the beginning with this beautifully written and gripping story. Having been exposed to the Jewish faith in recent times, I found this story captivating. Wonderful and relatable characters.
Unfortunately the story was completely spoiled by a weak ending with no resolution. I was left feeling so robbed.
A brilliant writer though I look forward to future books by this author with better endings.
The reader did a nice job.
