| Abstract | "Possession, missing persons, and a deeply forbidden book. On the night before her wedding, seventeen-year-old Sorel leaps from a window and runs away from her life, grabbing men's clothes and a sharp knife. To keep from being found, she takes on the identity of Isser Jacobs -- but soon it becomes clear that the real Isser Jacobs is a lawbreaker, a revolutionary, and powerful people want him dead. Sorel is drawn into the dark underworld of her small city, where smugglers, forgers, and wicked angels fight for control of the Jewish community. In order to make it out, Sorel must discover who Isser Jacobs really is -- and who she wants to be. -- Book jacket. |
