About this listen
Melbourne 1999: Ezra and Yonatan are best friends whose lives are forever changed when their school, the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Yahel Academy, is rocked by a scandal and they are thrown onto two divergent paths. Twenty years later, the lives of the two men are very different: Ezra identifies as secular and atheist, while Yonatan has been ordained as a rabbi and even teaches at the academy. By chance they are reunited, and the events of their past and present collide with devastating consequences.
Abomination lays bare the clash between religious and secular worlds in contemporary Australia and provides a revealing glimpse into a closed community. With great tenderness and insight debut author Ashley Goldberg tells the story of an enduring and evolving friendship as Yonatan and Ezra struggle to come to terms with the choices they have made, search for meaning, and forge their own identities. This is a beautifully observed, moving story from an exciting young writer.©2022 Ashley Goldberg (P)2022 Penguin Random House Australia

Poor narration
In this era of culturally appropriate casting, could the publisher not find a narrator who can pronounce Hebrew?

Didn't want it to end!
This book has left me feeling a multitude of emotions. It's been a long time since a book has moved me to tears and this one has not disappointed. To be honest I felt most for Tegan and Ezra's relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator's performance, he drew me in and really put his heart into it. Mr Goldberg you have opened me up to a genre I didn't previously entertain. Thank you for your incredible words and for putting this out to the world. Highly recommend this book!
