Praise for Exodus
“One woman's search to understand herself and her Jewish heritage. . . . Rich in details of Jewish life and the lives of her grandparents in the World War II era, [Feldman] sensitively portrays the inner struggles of accepting the pervasive feeling of survivor guilt and her own desires to understand the woman she was becoming. . . . An enthralling account of how one Orthodox Jewish woman turned her back on her religion and found genuineness and validity in her new life.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Feldman’s journey is undeniably and explicitly Jewish, but the aching need to find both a welcoming community and a sense of individuality is one that readers from all walks of life will be able to identify with. Those left unsatisfied with the abrupt ending to Unorthodox will enjoy the more hopeful conclusion to Feldman’s second book as well as her more mature and increasingly eloquent writing style.”—Booklist
“Overall, Exodus is a satisfying sequel to Unorthodox, which shows how Deborah Feldman went on to the next step after getting her own freedom from the bonds of a strictly insular society. . . . [A] chronicle of a continuing journey of self-discovery . . . There are many satisfying finds and revelations along the road, but there are also plenty of bumps, frustrations, disappointments, and pitfalls, which is expected when one spends their formative years being closed off from the rest of the outside world, and is confined to the boundaries of a Brooklyn neighborhood. . . . This book is more about the liberation of Deborah Feldman, and how she copes with this newfound sense of freedom and self-discovery, that can be a shock to some, or a declaration of independence for others.”—Stuart Nulman, Montreal Times
“In her first memoir, Unorthodox, Feldman made the courageous choice to cut off ties with her family and the Satmar community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. . . . Now a divorced woman in her twenties, Feldman chronicles the next phase of her life in her new book [Exodus]. . . . A quest of self-discovery . . . Some of the most powerful scenes come when Feldman retraces the path of her female ancestors in Hungary and confronts the anti-Semitism of contemporary Europe. . . . Feldman ultimately discovers that her rightful place is wherever she happens to be.”—The New York Times Book Review

I was, however, almost ofended by the imitation of accents. I wish audiobooks directors stopped asking readers to do this. Sometimes I have the same reaction when male readers imitate female voices in such a way that hears comical. I'm sorry to say that in Exodus, the imitation of non native English speakers sound almost like mockery. In an exploration like this one, it's a painful contradiction. It underlines the idea of otherness, of the narrator being judgemental (although I'm sure that's not the goal), and of a very limited idea of how one can express oneself.
Same thing with the so, so old and tired mention of "Africa" as a poor place of hunger and the mention of poverty in "Third World Countries". I guess that being part of an othered group doesn't save us from pointing our finger towards others and reducing them to mean representation.
This aside, these are beautiful books, worthy of a careful, attentive reading. I was moved very deeply, even when I come from a world that can't be more different. Even if I'm very much an "other" for the storyteller.
Love Deborah Feldman, was turned off by "accents"
