Written with rage and passion about her own journey to creative
self-fulfilment against the odds, the novel begins in the hermetic,
traditional world of Polish Jewry before the first World War.
Deborah is the daughter of an unworldly rabbi. Talented and
ambitious but condemned to household chores, Deborah frets that she
is not allowed to receive the same education and opportunities as
her brothers. She fails in love with a communist but then an
arranged marriage is proposed...This is a classic that scholars and
fans of the Singers continually refer to for its authentic account
of life in the Singer household and the struggle of Esther Kreitman
to be free. Deborah was first published in Warsaw in Yiddish in
1936 and later translated by her son Maurice Carr into English in
1946 and published by W.G Foyle. It was republished by Virago in
1983 when her work was still unknown.
