The Bride Price: A Novel
David R Godine Pub. 03/01/1992. Gerte Weil intertwines two narratives--one a moving recreation of a Biblical story, and the other a haunting testimony of her own experiences as a survivor of the Holocaust. The first is told by Michal, the first wife of King David, a woman progressively appalled at the violence that occasioned her marriage and the prophecies and politics that disfigure David. In counterpoint, Weil tells her own story, that of a survivor of the Holocaust who daily confronts death and aging, fusing a war-torn biblical landscape with the devastated emotional landscape of a survivor. The painful contradictions she feels between her Jewish identity and her German cultural heritage are poignant and vivid, as is her firm refusal to repress what she has witnessed or to deny her nationality and homeland.
