Pearl Abraham sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na zložité vzťahy medzi tradíciou a modernitou a na hľadanie identity v exile. Jej prozaický štýl skúma hlboké emócie a kultúrne napätia s prenikavou psychologickou presnosťou. Abrahamová sa zaoberá otázkami viery, rodiny a príslušnosti, pričom jej diela často osvetľujú vnútorný svet postáv, ktoré sa pohybujú medzi rôznymi svetmi. Jej písanie ponúka bohatý pohľad na skúsenosti tých, ktorí sa snažia zosúladiť svoje dedičstvo s prítomnosťou.
Pearl Abraham--who grew up in a Hasidic community herself--presents the story of Rachel, a girl caught between the strictly controlled world of ultra Orthodox Judaism and the seductive yearnings of her own heart. Both a coming-of-age story and a brave, beautifully rendered expose of a hidden, insular world . . . heartrending.--Elle.
