Henderickx THE CONVERT | Embriachi

'Pray. But to whom.' With these concise words, Stefan Hertmans summarizes the inner struggle of his title heroine in his erudite and haunting novel De convertinge. Hertmans created Vigdis Adelaïs a very strong woman who, at the time of the First Crusade at the end of the 11th century, was torn between her Christian upbringing and the Jewish faith, to which she converted for her beloved, after which she took the name Hamoutal. The Convert tells the story of a young mother who, in times of religious violence, is the victim of a pogrom and tragically perishes in her search for her kidnapped children.
