Die Hoffnung der Chani Kaufman

by Eve Harris, Anna Schudt (Narrator), Kathrin Bielfeldt - Übersetzer

Chani hat es geschafft. Sie hat den Mann geheiratet, den sie sich ausgesucht hat – nicht selbstverständlich, wenn man in einer jüdisch-orthodoxen Gemeinde lebt. Und was nun? 'Seid fruchtbar und mehret euch', natürlich, aber genau das funktioniert eben nicht. Chani ist verzweifelt, denn ihr Mann Baruch kann sie verstoßen, wenn sie ihm keine Nachkommen schenkt. Und wer wäre sie dann noch unter ihresgleichen? Zwischen Rabbi, Fruchtbarkeitsklinik und ihrer Schwiegermutter muss Chani 'HaSchem' ein Schnippchen schlagen.

Reviews

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like in the first one ‘Die Hochzeit der Chani Kaufmann’, I enjoyed following the different character who all try to come to terms with their strict religions in one way or the other.

Gripping, entertaining, although maybe not always balanced. I liked the storyline of Avromi. Others were a bit repetitive.

Can't speak to the authenticity of the portraial of the orthodox lifestyle.
