An extraordinary literary debut about three generations of women that takes us from pre-World War Two Transylvania via Paris and England to present-day New York. The prose and historical context matches Suite Francaise and The Tiger's Wife

I Am Forbidden is a powerful portrayal of family, faith and history which sweeps the reader across continents and generations, from pre-war Transylvania to present-day New York, via Paris and England. Immersive, beautiful, moving, it explores in devastating detail what happens when unwavering love, unyielding law and centuries of tradition collide.
