A captivating retelling of a remarkable expedition across medieval Europe to Egypt, and an untold tale of forbidden love. In the quaint village nestled in Provence, where Stefan Hertmans has chosen to reside, there has been a longstanding tradition of mentioning an ancient pogrom and a concealed treasure. Then, towards the close of the nineteenth century, an extraordinary collection of Jewish documents was unearthed in a synagogue in Cairo. Hertmans has fashioned his novel, The Convert, upon these historical sources, delving into the life of a young Christian noblewoman who renounced all for the love of a rabbi's son. In this remarkably contemporary novel, Hertmans takes us on a journey alongside the lovers as they evade pursuit by crusading knights, recounting their dazzling odyssey filled with love, hardship, courage, and hate. As they venture towards Jerusalem alone, Hertmans vividly portrays their tragic love story in the midst of the tumultuous Middle Ages.
The Convert vividly brings the chaos of the Middle Ages to life through Hertmans's boundless imagination and stylistic ingenuity, portraying the tragic love story of a woman in exile and a world in flux.
