Translated by Ruth Waldman
A haunting, tragic story of love and desperation, I.L. Peretz's century-old Yiddish tale "Married" jumps to life in this new translation by Rose Waldman. Mystical in its vision of love and stark in its depiction of the lives of impoverished women within the confines of Jewish ghettos, "Married" is a profound, unsettling masterwork brought to life for the first time in English.
