Sacred is the moving love story of a young woman, living in the ultra-orthodox community in Jerusalem. Spurned by her community for failing to conceive a child in ten years of marriage, her husband is forced by custom to reject her. Does she dare to tell the truth or will she let her beloved husband, the son of the Rabbi, marry another?

'In Rachel and Naomi, Abecassis creates two powerful and sympathetic heroines, and the power and beauty
of her writing renders their story both heartbreaking
and hypnotic.'    
                                                                          The Observer.
