Author
The Corset Maker
Orthodoxy or Rebellion. Love or War. Privation or Glamour. Betrayal or Devotion “The Corset Maker” is a gripping saga set against the backdrop of the seismic events leading up to and during the Second World War. The story pulses with life and sweeps the reader through prewar Poland, Palestine, Spain, and France. A Parisian Count, a Moroccan arms smuggler, and an orphaned Spanish boy test the convictions and tug at the heart of our heroine, the young Rifka, who cannot accept the status quo. What choices will she make? Or will circumstances choose for her? Can she hold on to her family’s Jewish values? This rich and sweeping story was inspired by the author’s mother, a woman of immense courage and integrity. Rifka’s personal struggles and dilemmas go to the heart of the major ethical issues and challenges of our times. Berkovits has transformed women’s true-life experiences into a compulsively readable and thought-provoking novel.
